I always thought that the Copyright referred to the file itself, so if you create a new file you should "restart" the Copyright notice even if this file doesn't contain new things. After all, if you moved things around, they were already covered by the copyright of the file which they belonged before. Anyway, I'm not an expert, so thanks for clarifying. -- Sergio
