I saw this in your pull request, and I did not think this was how
copyrights work.

>From what I can tell, most of the files have not been touched in
years, so it's surprising that the copyright would include every
year up to 2021.

Would you mind respinning the pull request either without this
patch, or with a clarified patch description that explains
what you do and a Signed-off-by from one of your company's
lawyers if they asked you for it?
