Comment:

 That sentence was not and is not a copyright notice. It was an abbreviated
 licensing notice. Nacin merely updated that licensing notice to correctly
 indicate the precise license used (GPL version 2). That is not a licensing
 change, because the license has always specified GPL version 2, and it is
 not a copyright change, since that sentence was not a copyright notice,
 but a licensing notice.

 I updated the header to read "License" instead of "Copyright," to clarify
 this point. [15529]

 This ticket is invalid. Nothing has changed or been tainted about
 WordPress' copyright or its license.
