INAL but shouldn't this be a period of time, like 2007-2008 and
not just the
last year?
Hmm, yes. Now that I looked at the matter in more detail [1], it looks
like the year in the copyright notice should be the year of the "first
publication". Other years or a range should be used for substantial
modifications.

"in the case of compilations, or derivative works incorporating
previously published material, the year date of first publication
of the compilation or derivative work is sufficient"
The copyright notice in NOTICE refers to *this* compilation and
*this year* is when this compilation is published for the first time.
