Copyrights
==========

Copyright notices are optional and informational, as international treaties
have abolished the requirement for them to protect copyrights.
However, they still serve an informative role.

According to the US Copyright Office, valid copyright notices include the year
of first publication of the work. For example:

Copyright (C) 2001 Python Software Foundation.

Updating notices to add subsequent years is unnecessary and such PRs will be
closed.
