Curious about splash screen - where copyright is from?

Using CVS Emacs, I found one thing is annoying. Splash screen
(Help->About Emacs) shows 

Copyright (C) 2002 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

So to please my eyes, I decided to get it updated.

My investigation shows it should from lisp/startup.el, so I changed all
occurences of 2002 to 2004.

If I bytecompile and load startup.el, the splash screen shows as I
expected.

But if I close Emacs, then start it, and splash screen still shows
'2002'. So it should be from another file. Just did simple grep and I
can not find where.

Anybody can get me wiser?

TIA,

When you build Emacs from source, some of the Lisp files are loaded
and the entire thing is "dumped" -- therefore the executable has some
Lisp files built-in.  You can override them by loading libraries, or
by evaluating code, but you need to add this to your init file.
Alternatively, build Emacs again.  Does that help?

Thank you Alex. I got it now.
And I suppose cvs source should have a update.
