Are you sure, that the copyright file of the package needs to mention every
single file of the project? This would be a huge redundancy for all packages
of heterogeneous stuff. What does e.g. emacs-goodis do?

OTOH, grep could be used to get all the info that is here. We had a major
overhoul regarding the license already, to every mode should have a
copyright note in the "rights:" field of the dcdata.txt file

http://jedmodes.sourceforge.net/search-dcdata.php?pattern=rights

give a list with dates for almost all modes. Exceptions:

 colors:rights: Released under the terms of the GNU General Public License
 latex-jlm:rights: Guido Gonzato, Joerg Sommer

(copyrights + dates in the source files)

 occur:rights: Copyright (c) John Davis, Paul Boekholt


Grep in the src directory will list all the notes in the source files, witht
the newest grep.sl:

M-x grep  Copyright /home/milde/.jed/jedmodes/src/mode/*/*.sl!
