I prefer not to.

In the case of libc/i386/string, the spelling error could have been
fixed by merging the copyright owner's (jtc's) fix from NetBSD.
E.g., FreeBSD is missing the following changes to the copyright to
bcmp.S:

%%%
RCS file: /home/NetBSD/NetBSD-cvs/basesrc/lib/libc/arch/i386/string/bcmp.S,v
Working file: bcmp.S
head: 1.7
----------------------------
revision 1.6
date: 1995/04/28 22:53:59;  author: jtc;  state: Exp;  lines: +3 -37
Winning Strategies has placed this code into the Public Domain
----------------------------
....
----------------------------
revision 1.3
date: 1994/01/28 20:34:33;  author: jtc;  state: Exp;  lines: +3 -3
Fix spelling error in Copyright notice
----------------------------
%%

... despite having cvs-added bcmp.S 7 months after the spelling error
was fixed.
