As far as I can tell, the GNU coding standards have been updated accordingly:
that is, they say that ranges are OK if there's a README comment to that effect,
and they say that the years are for the package, not just for the individual file.

If the coding standards' language is confusing please let me know where the
confusion comes from, and perhaps we can clarify the standards.
