I strongly disagree that adding a single line here warrants a copyright
update. If your lawyers will sign off on this change, I am willing to
reconsider.

Please say why in the comment, not just what.

You are right, I checked with them and they mentioned copyright update is not
required for a one line change.

Hmm the changelog describes it but I can add a comment as well.

I am not a lawyer, we can skip adding QuIC copyright here since it is
just one line change, but at the same time we can't add 2022 year in the
existing copyright. If that is fine, we can skip the copyright year
update entirely.

That is correct, because you are not making a copyrightable change,
otherwise the single line addition would be ok.

Talk to your lawyers about this :)
