Would you be able to confirm if the copyright claim refers to valid copyrightable portion of this file? Would it also be possible to estimate how many packages will show up with the warning once it is added? If this is not an actual copyright problem on a large number of accounts, I think it will annoy a lot of package maintainers once the check is added. -- Best, Nilesh
