This was on purpose to follow the the "How to Apply These Terms to Your New 
Programs" section of the GPL2 [1]. The example given there is following:

    <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
    Copyright (C) <year>  <name of author>

This way of separating the year and the copyright holder is also used in other 
parts of the kernel and other parts of the batman-adv related source code 
(e.g. batctl and alfred).

Kind regards,
