There is no doubt in my mind the copyright should not have been there in the 
first place. And yes I too think it was an unintentional mistake

I'd like to apologize for being quick to heat up the debate.

To sum up I think we all now agree that claiming copyright on just some 
formatting of lines is too much, and that any removal of copyright should be 
discussed even if it's clear that it was groundless.

This should ensure a better social climate. Have a nice evening :)
