commit 863932ab398b9ab55a787f51b61ab832a81e64e8

hpftodit(1): Revise copyright notice.
Ratchet back ending year of FSF copyright notice to 2004, reflecting the
date of the last "legally significant"[1] contribution to this file by
anyone who has executed a copyright assignment with the FSF, which was
commit fb0eed2039, 2004-01-15, by Werner Lemberg.
Add copyright notice for myself. I have never executed copyright
assignment paperwork with the FSF, so my "legally significant"[ibid.]
changes to this file can't be under the FSF's copyright.
Justification (year, commit ID, summary, net lines added by commit):
2024 89283b0935 Make more commands' exit status 2 on usage error. (+15)
2023 a9767ace3d [man pages]: Define page-local `MR` fallback. (+15)
2022 7347f57da4 [man pages]: Improve several pages' Files section. (+35)
2017 a4f9b86065 man pages: Make style fixes. (+36)
(Bernd Warken's commit c012e48e50, 2014-09-18, is a sadly complex case.
It adds 72 lines net, which would be "legally significant", but is
summarized as "Improve the license information", which would vitiate
that significance. However, the committed change does not restrict
itself to that purpose. It also adds comment banners and empty requests
and makes other cosmetic changes, like changing the locations of input
line breaks without altering the text around them. I think the balance
of the analysis is solidly against significance, but a good commit
discipline relieves maintainers of having to undertake such.)
