If gnulib-tool modifies any of those non-FSF copyright notices, then=20
that's a bug that should be fixed. It doesn't modify the first one, so=20
we should be OK there. (I didn't check the others.)

This raises another issue. What will be the glibc policy about putting=20
copyright notices on files containing DCOed material? Will there be a=20
separate copyright notice for each contributor? Linux doesn't do that -=20
which is too sloppy for glibc, surely. I don't know what GCC plans to do.
