there could be various indicators. For example consider a XSD grammar
file. They are normally created by one author and then shipped by
various implementations. One example is the xml.xsd file. That file is
authored by the W3C and Oracle is not in a position to donate it, in
that case the normal W3C header must be kept/added.

Files that are already holding an Oracle/Sun copyright should always be
good to go, as we can assume, that Oracle owned the code and thus
validly could donate it.

I admit, that this might still be a bit vague, but it is difficult
without a sample.

Greetings

Matthias
