There's a difference between contributing a whole file and
contributing a patch. Patches do not require copyright notices. Whole
files do. This is not affected by later edits to the file.

I count 28 .py files with a Google copyright and 127 with other
copyrights (not counting the 47 PSF copyrights :-). Why are you
picking on Google?
