And I thought we said that CC mode was added to Emacs in 1992, yet e.g

;;; cc-langs.el --- language specific settings for CC Mode

;; Copyright (C) 1985, 1987, 1992, 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998,
;;   1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006  Free Software
;;   Foundation, Inc.

i.e the years before 1992 are still in the header

Q. to RMS: What *should* the header for t-mouse.el look like?

Currently:

;; Copyright (C) 1994,1995 Alessandro Rubini <address@hidden>
;;               parts are by Ian T Zimmermann <address@hidden>, 1995,1998
;; Copyright (C) 2006
;; Free Software Foundation, Inc.
