Item13649: BuildContrib not properly copying copyright information releasing an extension

When building an extension to be uploaded to Foswiki.org BuildContrib does not properly copy the copyright notions to the PackageForm. While this is not an urgent issue for the functionality of BuildContrib nor the plugin being released, it is indeed an urgent task as copyright information must always stay intact as it cannot be rewritten to an arbitrary different string.

For example, this

|  Copyright ©: | 2009-2015, Michael Daum http://michaeldaumconsulting.com |

is converted to

% META:FIELD{name="Copyright" title="Copyright" value="Foswiki Contributors, All Rights Reserved"}%

The regex that picks up the Copyright and Author entries doesn't match other variations. For ex Copyright: Copyright (C) and Copyright © also Author, Authors and Author(s). Fixed these, but there may be other variations.

... and if no match was found, never insert another copyright.

This is fixed and released:

 $ git tag --contains 994f94b51310
