phk>A harder problem is to detect when the copyright ends.

End of the comment (or first blank line for those languages that don't
have block comments).  Remember, my script grabs the entire license,
not just the copyright notice.

Yes.  There are many files that have multiple copyright blocks.  There
are files whose license statement says "this file is in the public
domain" and there are some files that use an abbreviation of
Copyright, as allowed by the copyright laws at one point.
