The intent is fine, but most of these scripts have not been
touched in 2010, so shouldn't have their copyright date extended
That policy has been changed.
Now, it's recommended to update all files once per year,
regardless of whether they've been changed in that particular year.
http://www.gnu.org/prep/maintain/maintain.html#Copyright-Notices
To update the list of year numbers, add each year in which you have made
nontrivial changes to the package. (Here we assume you're using a
publicly accessible revision control server, so that every revision
installed is also immediately and automatically published.) When you add
the new year, it is not required to keep track of which files have seen
significant changes in the new year and which have not. It is
recommended and simpler to add the new year to all files in the package,
and be done with it for the rest of the year.
