Legoktm added a comment.

But is the year in which piece was last modified really needed there? I would only preserve year in which script was originally written per my understanding of US copyright law?

My understanding is that when the script is modified, it becomes a new derivative work, which has its own copyright. (But depending on the change, for example, you wouldn't consider a simple typo fix to be original enough for deserving copyright protection.)
