Re: [libvirt] [Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2 1/2] Update copyright banners

The copyright statements printed by the various executables have not been touched since r3893 / 68d0f70e3c180253b637996f985dd9d248bd910a. So, judging by -version output, a user could get the impression that QEMU was last modified in 2008. We should therefore update it to the current year. However just changing the year seems wrong since Fabrice didn't contribute in recent years. Therefore extend the copyright statement to cover "Fabrice Bellard and contributors" so that it can be updated to the current year.
