Copyright notice referring a company other than Sun

[Phil Race]

Quoting the SCA :

"you agree that we may register a copyright in your contribution and exercise all ownership rights associated with it;"

So whilst I'm not a lawyer, I'd say that means that all code contributed
to OpenJDK under SCA can have a full Sun copyright - and probably should
have that explicitly in the source file. Not just for the new portions,
but for all of it.
