I disagree. It=E2=80=99s bikeshedding if we start a discussion about which symbol is the best. In general it is best to use whatever style is already in use in a given existing file. (This also applies to tabs vs spaces for *existing* files.) Let=E2=80=99s keep using the same copyright symbol that we already use in t= he majority of all files: =C2=A9. -- Ricardo
