I disagree.  It’s bikeshedding if we start a discussion about which
symbol is the best.

In general it is best to use whatever style is already in use in a given
existing file.  (This also applies to tabs vs spaces for *existing*
files.)

Let’s keep using the same copyright symbol that we already use in the
majority of all files: ©.
