[TYPO3-core] copyright still 2005

[Kasper Skårhøj]

I think a search-replace with confirms is what someone should do - no  
automation here, please: It is not everywhere you want to make that  
change! And search-replace doesn't take that long.

Since copyright counts all days of the authors life + 75 years or so  
I find no urgent reason to put in the last year of update.

We could also say "2000-[year of last change, see CVS ID below]"
