Thanks, but I can't tell from the patch how to exercise just the new check.
I tried applying it and running 'make check', but the process
took many minutes and failed due to another problem:

Makefile:142: recipe for target 'sc_check_copyright' failed
make: *** [sc_check_copyright] Error 1

with a long list of file names and licenses and no obvious clue as
to what the real problem is there.

Getting back to your patch, I do have qualms about that
regular expression: what if it's used in a UTF-8 locale
where UTF-characters can be alphabetic?  The C locale is
UTF-8 on some platforms, if memory serves.
