HP would prefer to not add the word "Portions" there.

Also, I don't think the earliest date should change from what was
submitted in the first commit edd163687ea5 (Dec 2009), which was
"2000, 2009".  Maybe use "2000, 2009-2015" based on:
* 2000: original earliest claimed date
* 2009: date of first inclusion in kernel
* 2015: some of the HP-era patches are still trickling out 
  this year.
