So if it was created in 2000 and edited in all years since it would be 2000-2003, if it was edited in 2000 and again this year it would be 2000,2003 or various other combinations (ie 2000-2001,2003).
We talked about this on the PMC list recently (or was it here?). The resolution was that it is not terribly important from a legal POV to update this copyright information very exactly. If something is marked as copyrighted in 2000, it will remain copyrighted for the next 50 years or so (forgot the exact number); not renewing the copyright claim simply means that after that time the copyright becomes non-enforcable.
In short, yes, we should update this, but the license is not invalid if the copyright date is a bit "stale".
Actually, a file's copyright should really be updated only when really modifying it, not in bulk.
