What do you mean, exactly?  In your code, if you wrote it yourself, you 
assert copyright.

SpiderMonkey code has Copyright notices in its license block comments at 
the top of source files, although most such notices are not exhaustive: 
they talk about the original contributor.  I wrote much of the original 
code while employed by Netscape, for example, so the comments generally say:

  * The Initial Developer of the Original Code is
  * Netscape Communications Corporation.
  * Portions created by the Initial Developer are Copyright (C) 1998
  * the Initial Developer. All Rights Reserved.

But you need to say why you think SpiderMonkey copyright information 
belongs in your code.

Perhaps you are mixing up license with copyright?
