I thought that "name" was referring to the license name, not to the license author's name.

See for instance http://packages.debian.org/changelogs/pool/main/t/toilet/toilet_0.2-1/toilet.copyright where two separate copyright notices appear, with two different years. I interpret them as being one for the toilet program and one for the license text. -- http://www.inventati.org/frx/frx-gpg-key-transition-2010.txt New GnuPG key, see the transition document! .....................................................
