I don't think the *style* of a copyright notice is what makes it legally
binding. I see it mostly as information/reminder.
In my opinion this should suffice:
- IBM will have copyright notice in the files contributed to ASF by IBM.
- The format of the copyright notice is as suggested by ASF for contributed code.
This should keep "IBM" happy as it preserves the copyright ownership for IBM,
as well as follows "ASF" guidlines about copyright notices.
I don't understand - has IBM required that we keep IBM copyright on the source?
