man: remove outdated COPYRIGHT section
While the section is fairly common (11.9k instances of 27.5k man pages in my Arch install) it is not as ubiquitous as the rest. Furthermore, the information is severely outdated. Just remove it all together, instead of trying to devise some clever way of managing it. Signed-off-by: Emil Velikov <emil.l.velikov@gmail.com>
