We will change "(C)" to "Copyright".

I do not know whether licensecheck does some relevant preprocessing, but
the above regex would not even match the recommended raw preamble
because the recommended preamble quotes the second License:

> Licensed under the Apache License, Version 2.0 (the "License");

Since the stuff in parenthesis is meant for the following text which may
not be present in many customized preambles, it should not be matched
for, IMHO,
