This should not be removed - it should be changed into a standardizes copyright. this is a source code file dealing with a command named "license", not a file containing a license.

The copyright notice format is inconsistent with other files in the same directory. This file uses "one of its subsidiaries" and "All rights reserved" (lowercase 'r'), while other files use "its subsidiaries or affiliates. All Rights Reserved" (capital 'R'). The format should match the standard used throughout the repository for consistency.

The copyright notice format is inconsistent with the majority of other files in this PR. Most files use "its subsidiaries or affiliates. All Rights Reserved" (capital 'R'), while this file uses "one of its subsidiaries or affiliates. All rights reserved" (lowercase 'r'). As this is the canonical COPYRIGHT.md file, it should use the standardized format.

The copyright notice is missing a period at the end. While most files in this PR end with "All Rights Reserved.", this one ends without punctuation. The format should be consistent across all files.
