The rule which asks for that to be done is:
sc_copyright_format:
@require='Copyright .*Red 'Hat', Inc\.' \
containing='Copyright .*Red 'Hat \
halt='Red Hat copyright is missing Inc.' \
$(_sc_search_regexp)
@prohibit='Copyright [^(].*Red 'Hat \
halt='consistently use (C) in Red Hat copyright' \
$(_sc_search_regexp)
@prohibit='\<Red''Hat\>' \
halt='spell Red Hat as two words' \
$(_sc_search_regexp)
I don't know if Red Hat legal department insists on the (C) being present.
I can reword the commit log to explicit it's only being enforced for Red Hat's
copyright, or I can drop the patch.
It might be specified by Red Hat legal somewhere, but then I wonder why there wouldn't be checks for that (in RH builds checks), so it's probably unneeded.
