This is definitely wrong. The original author(s) retain copyright to their work. By contributing it to an apache project they _license_ it to apache.

The cla indicates that you are licensing your contributions to apache, but you retain copyright over your work. > > So please join me on replacing all contributed code with wrong headers > with the ASF one, otherwise we cannot release Amber at all. My impression is that the original contributors need to be the ones to remove other license/copyright/notice legal information. It would be best to ask on legal-discuss before making any such changes. thanks david jencks > > Thank you very much in advance, all the best! > -Simo > > http://people.apache.org/~simonetripodi/ > http://simonetripodi.livejournal.com/ > http://twitter.com/simonetripodi > http://www.99soft.org/
