Gunnar, it is largely irrelevant based on the legal expertise we have been given by Red Hat.
But if you are going to keep up with it (and I think there is value to that, and do it myself still) generally the year should just be touched for non-trivial updates. A range is good. Simply updating the year to the current year is fine. Listing years of all such non-trivial updates is yet another good approach. Personally I tend to just update the year.
