So, if help2man is used, the COPYRIGHT section
of the generated man page will inherit that.

Right now, grep's hand-written man page does
not have a COPYRIGHT section.  Should we elect
to continue with this hand-written solution
and want to add a COPYRIGHT section, what is
the years rule for it?  Is it better to keep a
list of years there, since it is hand-written,
just like in the texinfo documentation?
