Gerd just reminded me that we did ship 1.0 with a 2008 copyright notice.

Is my text change okay, so that I should extend the patch to cover
*-user as pointed out by Peter? Or is the change a no-go for legal or
libvirt reasons?
An alternative mentioned in this thread was:
Copyright (c) 2003-2008 Fabrice Bellard, Copyright (c) 200x-2011 s.o.
The former was intended as a short-term fix for 1.0.
I would prefer the latter mid-term since Fabrice doesn't hold any
copyright/IPR in the code after he left, but what year and what someone?
Opinions please,
Andreas
