No, it's not your duty to enforce rules from some other departments or
business units. Especially not without agreement of that person. You
cannot just add copyrights to other people's commits just because you
think that such copyrights should be there. Only the copyright owner -
which you did not identify here and email address of contributor does
not imply that (you don't even know what work contract a person has) -
can add such copyrights.
