No, we don't "move" any of the individual copyrights. We just need to create a central file with the license terms. The individual copyrights are there (as I understand it) because there has to be a real legal entity holding the copyright on any given "document"; those don't go away just because the licensing terms get documented in an additional place. There isn't, at present, a single entity to which the entire source is assigned. PF assigned it all to RC when he took over as maintainer way back, which is why so many of the files have RC's name in them; but after RC stepped down it was left up to individual contributors to put their own names in the copyrights of files they added. We may have to *mention* the names that appear in all the individual copyrights in any central LICENSE file we add, though. Also, we should either put copyright notices in, or explicitly disclaim copyright on, all the pieces of the completion system ...
