GNU maintainer's guide discourages that:
http://www.gnu.org/prep/maintain/html_node/Copyright-Notices.html#Copyright-Notices

However, it's also true that the guide says that copyright numbers
should only be updated if there's a "nontrivial change" to the
file.  That's different from past lilypond policy.
