Per my previous note, an explicit copyright notice is generally better
than no copyright notice at all.  Depending on the submission,
we may require an explicit notice.  We generally do not require
explicit notices on simple patches.  I will interact with submitters
and committers as needed.

I have no issue with the copyright you attached, I believe it to
be compatible with our release and devel licenses.  I generally
prefer simple notices, such as those on the our website.
