        Maybe it would be a good idea to use the short form too.

   I recall, that sometime ago the lawyers decided that the short form
   shouldn't be used for new notices.

Then isn't the following paragraph in the maintainer guide incorrect?

  You can use a range (@samp{2008-2010}) instead of listing individual
  years (@samp{2008, 2009, 2010}) if and only if: 1)@tie{}every year in
  the range, inclusive, really is a ``copyrightable'' year that would be
  listed individually; @emph{and} 2)@tie{}you make an explicit statement
  in a @file{README} file about this usage.
