Currently derby conforms to the guidelines specified here:

   http://www.apache.org/legal/src-headers.html
   http://www.apache.org/dev/apply-license.html

I found one hit in the legal-discuss archives [1] that mention
discussion of a specific change from this style:

"Copyright (c) 2001-2004 - Apache Software Foundation"

to this:

"Copyright [yyyy] The Apache Software Foundation or its licensors, as
applicable"

I bet that one post is just the tip of the iceberg. And, heh heh. I'm
noticing one snag in all this. :-)

At any rate, we should keep formatting the copyright statement the way
we are now because that's what the asf specifies.  Here's the snag: I
think we should drop the "or its licensors, as applicable" because that
was dropped from the guidelines, but that's now getting off topic from
your question about the (c).

I saw that -- thanks!
