Hi,
If it's necessary to include a new file in the hotspot tree, for instance, let's
say the following files:
src/jdk.vm.ci/share/classes/jdk.vm.ci.hotspot.ppc/src/jdk/vm/ci/hotspot/ppc/PPC64HotSpotJVMCIBackendFactory.java
src/cpu/ppc/vm/macroAssembler_ppc_sha.cpp
What would be the correct copyright in the header of these two files if the file
is contributed from (a) a person or (b) an entity that signed the OCA?
License text is kept the same (GPL v2), but besides Oracle copyright should the
author's full name [in case of (a)] or the legal entity name [in case of (b)]
be included as well? What governs the correct choice here?
Thank you!
Best regards,
Gustavo
