No, they are not. Copyright notices do not create or constitute copyright, they merely inform about it. And if that information is wrong, the copyright still stays intact. The authors have the copyright unless they assign it to somebody else. Which in our case they did not. We do have the 50+ people problem.

I was not aware we had external code in our codebase. What _is_ the "GOTO stuff"? And how much is that?
