Not quite as (c) is enough. GPLv2 is a copyleft license.

GPLv2 is a copyleft license. Quoting <https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.en.html>: Always use the English word “Copyright”; by international convention, this is used worldwide, even for material in other languages. The copyright symbol “©” can be included if you wish (and your character set supports it), but it's not necessary. There is no legal significance to using the three-character sequence “(C)”, although it does no harm.

There's legal implications to the word you use, and the rest of the code base does not use "Copyleft".

(I still think "copyleft (c)" was enough (in all laws we care) ;).)

Do not to deviate from the FSF's advice on how their licenses should be applied unless * you're a lawyer in all the jurisdictions we care about, or * you got legal advice in all the jurisdictions we care about, or * you're eagerly looking forward to needing legal advice in the future. Since none of the above apply to the QEMU project, we stick to the FSF's advice. There are ample opportunities for self-expression in source code and documentation other than legal notices.
