Ahh, so no, if you're running Fedora 26 then you don't need the COPR at
all. I am maintaining 4.X on F26 and up (for now that just means Rawhide
too, but that will be branched for Fedora 27 in the near future).

This is basically because the 3ware packages are apparently *very poorly*
packaged. They should not be trying to claim ownership of the root "/",
/usr/sbin, or /etc/init.d directories. If they have an upstream you should
let them know that.

If you want to run Fedora 25 then yes, you'll need to enable my COPR per
the dnf instructions on the right hand side.
