The whole point of a copyright notice is to say who *OWNS* the
copyright, and the date of that ownership.<br>
<br>
Just because TDF has forked OOo doesn't mean we now legally own it.<br>

Doing as you suggest (removing the Oracle notice) is actually
*illegal*!!! (unless we remove all the Oracle-owned code at the same
time :-) If you don't know what you're doing, you should NEVER alter
a copyright notice - just add a new one claiming your own copyright
on the code you yourself wrote and added.<br>
<br>
Whoops - just noticed what you said about "new" file. If it truly is
new, then no it shouldn't have an Oracle notice. However, I get the
impression that it's actually just a rename, so no, legally it isn't
new.<br>
