No, it MUST NOT say that. That states that only Michael Elkins contributed copyrightable work from 1996-2016, which is false, and contradicts the previous copyright messages. It should only update the date. It would be acceptable to add names, to the list, but... why? If you do, be sure to add mine, OK? =8^) [This is why we do not do that.] -- Derek D.
