This is what I think:
If you take a copyrightable part of a file, then that parts (last)
copyright year is valid.
One copyrightable addition to a file causes the whole
file to have a new copyright year.
One copyrightable addition in a whole work causes
the work as a whole to have a new copyright year.
A valid license is valid for the copyright year(s) it was applied.
If possible: If that valid license varied external then all valid
versions of that license
apply from of the year they were valid for that copyright year(s).
This I don't really know:
You may also have to know in what year(s) the copyright year(s) was/were
first published if applicable.
