They can't be removed, except by the copyright holder.

However - it's not normal Apache practice to keep them in there. There
was a move to update src headers a few years back and it looks like it
missed HiveMind.

I'll update the files in hivemind2/trunk [I'm assuming you're taking
things from trunk and that the desired version is hivemind2].

Let me know otherwise [I'll aim to do it tomorrow night so you've time
to point me in the right direction].

Attic PMC - feel free to -1 if you think this is bad. It's the
application of a standard Apache style, so I think it's harmless
enough and will simplify things for the fork.

I agree with Mads and Henning that the attic is *not* the place for this kind of cleanup. Copyright notices and licenses should be removed only by the copyright holders (in conjunction with updating the NOTICE if appropriate).

So I'm -1 on changing the copyright notices on attic artifacts.
