Doing some review/cleanups in the MIPS profiles and there's some degree of variability going on with the top copyright header, mainly in the beginning year. I'm wanting to fix all of those up, but what is the appropriate beginning year here? 1999, or the first year that the file appeared? I am inclined to go with "Copyright 1999-2021 Gentoo Authors" across the board, but given that copyright is always a touchy subject, figured I'd ask.
