Don't bother, it's a complete waste of time. The formulation with "This program" is always valid. The formulation with "Emacs" is valid for some files but nor for all. So we can't standardize on "Emacs", and we don't want to standardize on "This program", so we can't standardize on a single text. So just close your eyes when you see these notices. Or use one of the "hide-copyright-notice" packages and move on to more useful projects that end-users will actually notice.
