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. Craig
