I see this:
To update the list of year numbers, add each year in which you have
made nontrivial changes to the package. (Here we assume you’re
using a publicly accessible revision control server, so that every
revision installed is also immediately and automatically published.)
When you add the new year, it is not required to keep track of which
files have seen significant changes in the new year and which have
not. It is recommended and simpler to add the new year to all files
in the package, and be done with it for the rest of the year.
This answers it, doesn't it?

Definitely yes! The FSF Europe is also working on this. For example,
the GPL has successfully defended in German courts.

I hope so. If we don't, we should access our working routines.
