This is what I think: If you take a copyrightable part of a file, then that parts (last) copyright year is valid.
One copyrightable addition to a file causes the whole file to have a new copyright year. One copyrightable addition in a whole work causes the work as a whole to have a new copyright year. A valid license is valid for the copyright year(s) it was applied. If possible: If that valid license varied external then all valid versions of that license apply from of the year they were valid for that copyright year(s). This I don't really know: You may also have to know in what year(s) the copyright year(s) was/were first published if applicable.
