In practice, I agree. Changing the version and checksum of 100 packages likely does not add up and does not give copyright (it is no creative act). Though 4 lines of srfi-1 list processing perhaps do give copyright. That said, copyright headers are only for tracking copyright. They do not anymore AFAIK help in the legal system (in EU and USA) and are not always accurate (parts of Guix’ package descriptions and service documentation are copied from the package’s developer, but that developer’s copyright is mentioned nowhere).
