As far as I know (not being in the legal profession), copyright is
implicit.  You no longer even need to state that it is your copyright, that
is a given the second you write it.

The license terms are what actually matter.

Tito, I would give the copyright to either yourself or the original author.
The fact that you received help from others can be noted, but I don't think
it is a necessity.  A majority of the work on busybox and many projects is a
collaboration, but you were the person who took all of the input and rolled
it into the final product.
