Thanks for testing. We will make sure to get rid of the warnings before
the release.

Yes, we've tried to solve the copyright update issue "for good"
and it took a couple of rounds to get right. See these template
repositories for details on our approach:

https://github.com/boris-kolpackov/template-single-author
https://github.com/boris-kolpackov/template-multi-author

The reason libbutl has a separate COPYRIGHT file is because we
reference it from a couple of third-party files, such as sha1.c
sha256c.c, etc.
