I found this nasty sed kind of worked for our particular license header

find . -type f -name *java | xargs sed -i '\,.*Copyright .*University
of Manchester,,+17 d'

(leaving behind the /*****   ****/  lines)


but this requires careful "git diff" as there were some odd ones like

// Copyright (C) 2008 The University of Manchester, University of Southampton
// and Cardiff University
package org.apache.taverna.ui.perspectives.myexperiment.model;

This is in various files in the myExperiment plugin, e.g.

https://github.com/apache/incubator-taverna-workbench/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=Cardiff


Do anyone remember why this particular copyright? Did Southampton and
Cardiff even contribute here? Did they not sign the CLAs to
Manchester?

What's odd is that the @author hints at Manchester folks, e.g.

> * @author Jiten Bhagat, Sergejs Aleksejevs
