So, if help2man is used, the COPYRIGHT section of the generated man page will inherit that. Right now, grep's hand-written man page does not have a COPYRIGHT section. Should we elect to continue with this hand-written solution and want to add a COPYRIGHT section, what is the years rule for it? Is it better to keep a list of years there, since it is hand-written, just like in the texinfo documentation?
