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.
