How about this?
Thanks, but I can't tell from the patch how to exercise just the new check. I tried applying it and running 'make check', but the process took many minutes and failed due to another problem: Makefile:142: recipe for target 'sc_check_copyright' failed make: *** [sc_check_copyright] Error 1 with a long list of file names and licenses and no obvious clue as to what the real problem is there. Getting back to your patch, I do have qualms about that regular expression: what if it's used in a UTF-8 locale where UTF-characters can be alphabetic? The C locale is UTF-8 on some platforms, if memory serves.
