Unless this changes, I am inclined to change disclaimer everywhere to "Copyright 2001 Boost.Test authors" and be done with that.
You can in principle ADD Copyright 2015 Boost.Test contributors to each file and then update it to reflect the current year, so it becomes Copyright 2015-2017 Boost.Test contributors in 2017, but you can't remove the existing lines. Some projects do use copyright assignments of the above form. In practice maintaining the copyright assignments is not that hard (compared to maintaining the code). That's because copyright is only claimed for changes meeting a certain threshold of originality.
