Well, Paul himself stated that according to their lawyer department, "Copyright" (which is there) is enough. So it made sense to remove invalid (at least in some sense) character. Also zillion of other files copyrighted by Paul contain "Copyright (C)". If we really want this character there then, why not rather in UTF-8, so that it works flawlessly? > Jiri, in the future please dont apply 'trivial' patches that involve > subsystems that i co-maintain and which is not acked by any of the subsystem > maintainers.
