Sure, the tool should try to catch most of these.

$ grep -R 'Sun Micro' . | grep -v  "/DTD " | grep -v "XMLSPY" | cut
-f1 -d':' | uniq

finds "Sun Microsystems" 351 times on my repo. But I think the same
pattern repeats a lot of times, like:

# The Original Software is NetBeans. The Initial Developer of the Original
# Software is Sun Microsystems, Inc. Portions Copyright 2009-2010 Sun
# Microsystems, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
