They are essentially claiming copyright here for something they don't have the license for, no?

To remove the original copyright notice, they'd need a copyright assignment (possibly implicit, as when the work is made for hire). They've already got a licence and they've infringed it by doing this.

To be fair, Spegel changed the copyright notice in 2024. It used to say someone else. That said, Microsoft is definitely missing the notice.

The original author can change their own notice. Why would that be a problem?

Funnily enough, they did add the copyright notice now, and since I didn't permalink to the commit, this looks a bit silly :P
