Description

I just used the latest cookiecutter to start on a library, and noticed the copyright lines include both the 2017 copyright and the generated one:, e.g.:
```
# SPDX-FileCopyrightText: 2017 Scott Shawcroft, written for Adafruit Industries
# SPDX-FileCopyrightText: Copyright (c) 2021 Dan Halbert for Adafruit Industries
```
Is this deliberate? I removed the first line, which appeared in several files.

Research direction

Start by inspecting the Cookiecutter template files that generate the copyright headers, then compare the generated library files described in the report. Confirm whether the 2017 line is intentional; done means generated files contain only the intended copyright line without duplicate SPDX entries.
