Sheeri,

Please, open Drizzle source files, one after another (I mean the actual
Drizzle project, as opposed to, say, libdrizzle or drizzle-jdbc).    Try
finding a source tree artifact that does not have a copyright line that
assigns the copyright to Sun (in most cases) or to MySQL (in remaining
cases).

If what you say is correct, then this is a bug, which should be fixed by
replacing the copyright line. The correct copyright line(s) will be
different in each source file, depending on who wrote the code, for example:

Portions Copyright (C) 1996-2008 Monty Widenius
Portions Copyright (C) 1996-2007 David Axmark
Portions Copyright (C) 2008-2009 Jay Pipes

Until Sun copyright message remains, the copyright is owned by Sun,
regardless of what the Drizzle wiki page says.

Regards,
Alex Esterkin
