Very few files in the tree contain copyrights in the modules Makefiles. IMHO it would be better to just keep the minimum contents ($FreeBSD$ string) and that's all.
All the necessary copyrights are in the files that are build in the process.

BTW. I don't like the name change. Why is it needed. The proper name for this device is NIC whereas virtual instances are VNICs

It's mostly to keep the module name fit the vnic convention. The "NIC" name is too generic IMHO. As discussed today, agreed to leave vnicpf.
