The "or its affiliates" form seems to be fairly common; there are
hundreds of them in the kernel already. I think it's something to do
with *not* having to manually update copyright notices to keep track of
the precise legal entities which make up a large corporation, as things
change.

Is there a particular problem with it, and an ongoing campaign to
eradicate it from the kernel? Any reason we should actually go and
spend time dealing with legal nonsense instead of just using the text
the lawyers have asked us to use?
