Certainly. Standards.texi says:
This copyright notice only needs to mention the most recent year in
which changes were made---there's no need to list the years for
previous versions' changes. You don't have to mention the name of
the program in these notices, if that is inconvenient, since it
appeared in the first line.
I would consider adding a new file to the CVS repository to be a
change, so I feel that this year's date should be included on the
copyright line. (I have no objection to previous years being
mentioned, I just feel that this year should be present as well).
Cheers
Nick
