I think copyright notices for any legally significant changes should be directly in the source files, not the commit messages. Otherwise, users who receive the source through e.g. release tar files will not see the notice. There are a handful of files in CoreOS projects that have multiple copyright notices that can be used as an example: https://github.com/coreos/mantle/blob/master/platform/machine/gcloud/cluster.go Thanks.
