Here is the new attempt:
I took the Syslinux copyright from getc.inc. It used to be 1994-2008 back
in 2008 when i did copy+paste code from it. Now it's 1994-2009. Should
the notice in gfxboot module be the current one (1994-2009)?

I tried to find out when the first gfxboot patch for syslinux was written.
Oldest version i was able to get was from 2001 for syslinux-1.62 from
SuSE Linux 7.3. Steffen, does this sound right?

The notice would look like:
