A minor point:
The most-recent copyright holder should come first.
This is the typical usage. It is more convenient
for the reader, who typically is interested in the
most recent-changes first. Sort of like a ChangeLog.
I updated the wiki accordingly.
M-x copyright-update prefers it as well, in the above it would add
2014 to the 2010 line.
