commit 31b9a972586c7571a472286c1bb964478574d02a

grohtml(1): Revise copyright notice.
Ratchet back ending year of FSF copyright notice to 2010, 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 4374c5c40a, 2010-11-02, 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 1cfb27606c Document new CJK/UTF-16 font support features. (+52)
2024 89283b0935 Make more commands' exit status 2 on usage error. (+15)
2023 a9767ace3d [man pages]: Define page-local `MR` fallback. (+15)
2022 b128913074 grohtml(1): Organize and clarify. (+122)
2021 9220af4082 grohtml(1): Update synopsis and Options section. (+33)
2020 051d5d5bc6 gpinyin(1), grohtml(1): Fix style issues. (+57)
(Bernd Warken's commits 1a0ea2d7ae and 97cc708eed, are sadly complex
cases. They add 32 and 31 lines respectively, which would be "legally
significant", but are summarized as "all man-pages in groff source tree:
use \[aq], \[oq], \[cq], \[co]" and "Improve the license information".
One of these changes _as described_ is robotic and the other is "meta"
which would vitiate that significance. However, the committed changes
do not restrict themselves to those purposes. They also add comment
banners and empty requests and make 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.)
