So we agree in principle, what other Copyright statements have I missed?
I admit I do not read each source file but I do a grep on "Copyright".
If there are none, then that is the end of it.

I don't search for missing copyright statements, typos, or for any
comment that could be interpreted as a copyright like "public domain" or
"do what you want". I don't know how to handle these or if they have any
legal significance.

That's the limit of my understanding :-)
