Andrew,

I have general comment about Copyright headers. Read this:

https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8016274

Please, follow examples which SAP has in PPC64 files.

For totally new files you still need point Oracle address - the text after "DO NOT ..." should be the same in all files.
And place "All rights reserved." on the same line as "Copyright".

For files, which are based on existing files, Red Hat copyright line should follow Oracle's line:
