chore: update copyright headers (#27697)

Per discussions with the Foundation, we are making an update to all copyright headers to follow the Linux Foundation guidance on copyright notices. In particular, we are broadening them to cover all contributors, and eliminating the year to avoid the need to keep them up to date.

Editor assessment

The subject is plain but sufficient for a sweeping mechanical edit, and the body is what makes this exemplary: it cites the authority (discussions with the Foundation and Linux Foundation guidance), states that notices now cover all contributors, and explains why the year was eliminated, removing an ongoing maintenance burden. Every choice a reader might question is pre-answered. The chore type accurately frames a repo-wide hygiene change, no scope is appropriate for something cross-cutting, no footers are needed, and the tone stays professional and consistent throughout. A model of justifying a mechanical change.
