Well, common understanding is at least that if a file wasn't modified
this year, neiter should the copyright be. At least that's what I was
told.
That's what I do. If there's a copyright notice in each file, the understanding is that the file's content is separately reusable. (This doesn't seem to stop people from removing the copyright notice and, for instance, putting a GPL notice at the top ;-)
