fix: update-copyright script for linux compatibility

[Parship12]

What this PR does:
Fixed the update-copyright.sh to work correctly:

• Removing -Z from grep (using newline-separated output)
• Adding cross-platform for sed -i (mac vs Linux)

Why we need it: The script grep -rlZ which causing all filenames to concatenate into one string. Also, the script used macOS sed -i '' which is not working on linux.

Before:

After:

Does this PR introduce a user-facing change?:

• How are users affected by this change: NA
• Is this breaking change: NO
• How to migrate (if breaking change): NA

@Parship12 Thanks for this. Two things:

1. Please always open an issue first. It is better to discuss the ideas, and then start working on it.

2. The script should be separately updated in one PR. This PR changes 300 files, and is difficult to review.

[Parship12]

@eeshaanSA Yeah sorry for that, actually I have done 2 things in the PR:

1. Update the script file update-copyright.sh -> This was my main aim
2. Ran the script: And after running the script all the files are the just updated by 2025 -> 2026.

Okay, I will create a different PR for the changes done in the script.

@eeshaanSA @Parship12 quick question , doesn't the copyright year usually represent the creation year?

I thought the same, but then I found this PR: #4745

@eeshaanSA @Parship12 quick question , doesn't the copyright year usually represent the creation year?

New code added in 2025 and 2026 has to reflect the changes. That is why, it is recommended, to have the current year, or the range, for example 2021-2026.

So, the motive of this PR is that the .hack/update-copyright.sh file fails?

[Parship12]

Why we need it: The update-copyright.sh script was failing on linux with errors like "sed: can't read". The script grep -rlZ which causing all filenames to concatenate into one string. Also, the script used macOS sed -i '' which is not working on linux.

Yes, it was failing on Linux and also the file names were concatenate.

Understood, thanks!

@Parship12, if we want to get this merged, as suggested, please separate the PRs. Ideally, first, only open a PR with the script changed. The script can be run later (probably by one of the maintainers), since it modifies almost the entire code base in some way.

[Parship12]

@eeshaanSA Sure, I will do it by EOD. Do I need to open an issue and link it?
