No policy has changed. He probably put the copyright notice in and assumed it was acceptable-by-Wikipedia-policy because people hadn't removed it right away.

I am extremely pissed that the copyright statement was deleted. If the policy of Wikipedia has changed such that authors are not longer allowed to retain copyright of their work, then I want no part of this. Go ahead and delete my contributions. This is just wrong.
So, do we delete, or do we point to our license and the consent he gave by contributing? More to the point, can we be sure which are his contributions?
