refer(1): Revise copyright notice.
Ratchet back ending year of FSF copyright notice to 2005, reflecting the
date of the most recent "legally significant"[1] contribution to this

which was commit 3a960db71b, 2005-05-07, by Werner Lemberg.
Add a copyright notice for myself. I contributed a "legally
significant"[ibid.] changes to this file in 2020-2024, and have not
assigned copyright to the FSF.

(Bernd Warken's commit e4d25cac2f, 2014-09-03, is a sadly complex case.
It added 300 lines net, which would be "legally significant". Its
summarized purpose is to prefix '%' to field letters, but 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.)
