Sorry for the delay and the last minute patch - but you have it
before the release branch if that is useful.
Unfortunately I haven't got the ChangeLog entries together, I'll do that

The general entry will be 'Standardize FSF Copyright statements.'
with a lot of 'Likewise.'-s.

No change to testsuite results on Debian Potato.
