This is the collecting part I hope is cleared up.  Do something like
grep -i copyright `find . -name '*.[ch]'`
over a non trivial project, especially one that has been around for
years and you get all sorts of wonderful combinations.

The globbing Charles suggested adds Angela to 2008 and John to 2009,
maybe. I'm not sure if that's a problem.
