Yes, otherwise we could put just "2020" everywhere using this:

 $ cp org.c new.c
 # I have a new file, so let me update copyright to 2020:
 $ sed s/20*-2020/2020/g -i new.c
 # Rename the new file back to the old name:
 $ mv new.c org.c

Copyright covers the code, the file's content, not the file name.
