 >> Opening a GPLed file randomly I see the second line

Yet another mistake by this fsf.org, assuming nothing but the (c) (or 
(C)) can be recognized internationally. Remember officially not 
English understand, so the text "<program> Copyright (C) <year> <name 
of author>" then is a second, false occurence of (c) in the _same_ 
file.

So there may be at least 3 (c)-claims: your line, reading (c) "and a 
name". The second, wrong (c) in the same file, which reads "<year> 
<name of author>", and finally a genuine (c) "Dave Yeo" in another 
file (the only one that really counts). It's as official as a pile of 
Bills. Go figure.
