en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marie_Curie
There was no Poland when she was living in France. Poland was under occupation she supported Polish independence.
Kopernik was writing that he is from Toruń not the "German"
Language:
In Poland we were using Latin and German language in writing. In Kopernik's times Polish language has been created.

Kopernik couldn't write in Polish - it was impossible. He was using languages all Poles were using in writing.
Only Polish versions exist in reality.

What is important in places connected with his family history (his father was form Kraków).
He was using Latin version (in documents). When we look on fact that in modern times people use Polish version of this name ... and they live mostly in Poland... in places strongly connected with his history ...
What is more Skłodowska - Cure was supporting Polands independence like Mikołaj Kopernik who was loyal soldier in Polish army and he has been fighting against country considered to be "German".
In my opinion using of German version of his name is very wrong because you can't find Germans or Poles with such name. You can find people with name Kopernik or his Latin name in most documents.
