The git history shows which lines were contributed by IBM and is more
detailed than a single copyright line at the top of the file. It's also
common to make smaller contributions, like the one I made here, without
adding a copyright line. In light of this I see no issue with adding a
Red Hat copyright line and there is no need to add one for IBM:
