What were you trying to do?
	Find an approved on-line MIT copyright notice

What's wrong:
	/usr/include/mit-copyright.h times out 1 year too soon:

	lyre% head -2 /usr/include/mit-copyright.h
	/*
	  Copyright (C) 1989 by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology
	lyre%

What should have happened:
	...
	   Copyright (C) 1990 by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology

	Though, depending on how this file was intended to be used
	(i.e. for new work only, or also for existing work), it may
	be appropriate to include 1989.  I suspect this is not the
	case, thus do not recommend the alternative
