Just for the record, as Mark Reinhold previously stated you must never
remove copyright notices. Contributors keep the copyright over their
code. You can only add an extra copyright notice. Mark explains when: 
http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/jdk7-dev/2009-June/000716.html
(Of course if contributed through the SCA, Sun then gets all the rights
from the copyright owner to license and redistribute the code under the
GPL.)

Cheers,

Mark
