Agreed.  But it's advisable to have an actual copyright notice using either
© or the English word "Copyright" and the current year.  If you make it a
link line, you can also link to the exact license you are using.

Note that there is no reason to update the copyright date when you make a
change, much less to make a change *just* to update the date.  Doing so
will not extend your copyright, and most companies don't have any reason to
care about the status of their IP in 2210.

I am not a lawyer and this is not legal advice -- but it is not the
unauthorized practice of law, either.

Cash registers don't really add and subtract;
        they only grind their gears.
But then they don't really grind their gears, either;
        they only obey the laws of physics.  --Unknown
