Git commit 9fa59c78df6e0c6e9a38a14aedad77b7e715febe by Aleix Pol, on behalf of Alex \
Merry. Committed on 26/07/2010 at 13:07.
Pushed by apol into branch 'master'.

Revert r1154600: Modified (some) 'About' windows to carry legally enforceable \
Copyright messages. Also looks better than '(c)'. ;-) Also fixed a few typos where I \
noticed them.

Please don't do huge sweeping changes of KAboutData things without talking to the \
authors first.  I'm sure they don't appreciate having their names removed from the \
about dialogs.

Note that
(a) the unicode copyright character is no more enforcible than (c)
(b) while "the KDE developers" is not a legal entity, neither is "Dolphin authors"
(c) it was decided a while back that we don't care about whether the copyrights in \
about dialogs are meaningful, since they can't hope to encompass everyone who holds \
copyrights on the application code or any of the libraries it is linked to; the \
copyright headers in the source files are the important ones.

I realise that I'm reverting more than necessary, but that's just a reason for \
breaking up commits :-)
