> When matching the owner name the input string is taken as a literal.  However, if the file in which the copyright notice was placed has wrapped the text there will be other non-space characters, including leading comment characters or formatting characters.
> This change should process the owner name string and replace any contiguous whitspace characters with "\W+"  In addition any tokens (the things at the beginning, ending, and between the whitespace) should be surrounded with "\Q" and "\E" to prohibit the token from being parsed.
