Clarify that the autoadded copyright header is non-exclusive.
The Copyright header is anyway purely informational for countries
that follow TRIPS Agreement.

Ideally there will be a discussion on the mailing list about this.

I'm planning to followup on the existing mail thread and announce it on factory once the package is prepared..

So the format_spec_file service will now add

    # Copyright (c) $thisyear SUSE LLC and contributors

Please explain why SUSE is more special here than all the openSUSE contributors.

Also, there are packages that rarely or never see contributions from a SUSE employee. I don't understand why SUSE wants to claim copyright for those spec files, and if/how this could be legal.
