I don't think this should be an issue. The (c) holders are all the people who contributed to a specific file and can be retrieved from the git history for the file. Each contributor explicitly agrees to the DCO, which means he/she retains the (c) to the file. But copying the file, does imply the loss of the change-history, so it makes sense in such situations to update the license statement. The work just needs to be done by someone.
