Not exactly that, the "year part" is exactly nine chars; it's a memcmp(s, ".. ", 10) and a memcmp(s+19, " ..", 21).
So my suggestion (on IRC?) was "Copyright OpenBIOS; Apple Computer, Inc. made Mac OS and that wants to see a string like this" or something like that.
I'm actually okay with the wording in the patch above (the above text seems particularly long-winded). My personal opinion is that we should try and leave it close to the original as possible in case other versions of OS 9 and/or OS 8 check different parts of the copyright string if someone is interested enough to try and boot them with QEMU ;)
