🛠️ Description
This PR is created to remove the copyright symbol from the copyright headers that will be added at the top of the file.
There is a policy reason for removing the copyright symbol from the copyright headers going forward. IBM header policy says that (c) symbol is not needed in the copyright statement which we are updating across the repos.
Moreover, refer the MEMO for the copyright statement format.
While running updates across repos in the org, we have removed the (c) symbol. None of the updated statements contain the (c) symbol.
The (c) symbol is not legally required. Since the Berne Convention (1989), copyright protection is automatic - the © or (c) symbol is optional.
