According to the GNU Coding Standards, two spaces are useful for Emacs to 
identify the end of a text. I myself do not see any problem without two 
spaces in Emacs, so I agree that it looks strange. But... this is what the 
GNU Coding Standards says, and I have no problem with this rule, so we follow 
it.

You don't have to remove it. As far as I know, copyright is not applied to 
this kind of information (at least in USA), because this is merely 
information but not a so-called "creative work". So, regardless of the 
origin, you can use this information.
