Bug Description
Every year we receive a bug report telling us that the copyright notice for Launchpad is outdated. We should have a test that notifies us that the copyright is outdated so we can fix it as soon as the year turns.
As part of this bug fix we should have a single place where the copyright is updated and all templates should use that information, similar to how we automatically generate the build information.

We could use Python code to return the current year. This would be inaccurate between January 1st and the first rollout each year (we'd be claiming that the code had been changed that year, when it hadn't yet been), but it would be less work than updating the year manually.
To remove that inaccuracy, we could get Launchpad to run "bzr log -r -1" on its own codebase, and cache the year value from that.
