Nope.

That's because you do get one line commit logs mingled with the file
names.

Remember that 'git diff' is a porcelain command, i.e. it's geared for
humans, not for scripts.  For this kind of thing (like all scripting),
it's better (safer!) to go for the plumbing commands:

git diff-tree -r --name-only `git rev-list -1 --before=2018-01-01 HEAD`..HEAD \
    | xargs ./util/openssl-update-copyright

Cheers,
Richard
