For example, our LICENSE file was already changed from mentioning just Apple in 
the non-endorsement clause to mentioning both Apple and MacPorts, back in 2007:

https://github.com/macports/macports-base/commit/afa23c443cd9ee66df0f7b212ad9ed1f21055830


And Apple's name was changed from Apple Computer, Inc. to Apple Inc. in our 
LICENSE in 2009:

https://github.com/macports/macports-base/commit/b4cac8cd814dca61b1a263d2f86128375dc60baf
