   My question was in the context of that the standard ASF header says 
`Licensed to the Apache Software Foundation (ASF)` versus `Copyright ... The 
Apache Software Foundation`. I was just curious if from a legal standpoint it 
is technically incorrect to include a regular copyright header when you only 
hold a license to use someone else's copyrighted work.
   
   IANAL, but the right to copy is only one aspect of what copyright means. If 
you hold the copyright, you have the right to, for example, contribute that 
work to another OSS project. If Lightbend holds the copyright you can't do 
that. But I'm not exactly sure how that applies to copyright notices.
