For a large proportion of packages, there is no single "copyright of
the work", because there are multiple copyright holders, each one with
copyright in parts of the source tree.

For a subset of those packages with multiple copyright holders, there
are even multiple licenses over the work.

It's good, then, that this proposal doesn't extend a simplistic
illusion of "the one true copyright of the work".
