I tried to reply to this earlier but I think my reply vanished due to
a mail problem.

I don't want "(C)" in there because our lawyers tell me that it is
legally meaningless, but "Copyright" on its own is good enough.
So I would prefer that you either remove the (C) entirely or convert
the copyright symbol to proper UTF-8 (0xc2 0xa9).

Thanks,
Paul.
