Well, I am bring it up. Steering committee is free to discuss, respond or 
ignore. As it stands my source code either lying almost all the time, or 
missing copyright or I need to keep updating 700+ file all the times. Unless 
this changes, I am inclined to change disclaimer everywhere to "Copyright 
2001 Boost.Test authors" and be done with that.

Each library has README file. It should be enough to just have Copyright in 
that one file IMO. And it won't be a real copyright attribution, but more 
like acknowledgement: these guys worked on this code.
