Ok I leave it to you two to sort this out, I do whatever the consensus is.

It is called now matlab-mode!

But in header just in matlab-mode.el or in all files?
I repeat the question I asked Stefan

Ok, last nitpicking question, right now the header reads


;; Copyright (C) 1997-2024 Eric M. Ludlam
;; Copyright (C) 1991-1997 Matthew R. Wette

All authors/contributers signed the FSF paper, the last one in January
2024, 

So should I replace that by

;; Copyright (C) 1991-2024 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

And delete the other authors? or shall I just use the year 2024? because it was
the year the last remaining contributor signed?
