To be honest, with dated copyright statements I'm unsure that it needs to be updated to the current name of the corporation. I would bet that it is supposed to match the name of the corporation at the time of the copyrighting, not current day. Else, there's a ton of code out there that needs copyright statement updates! :-) But I am no lawyer so don't know. Instead, with this patchset my intent is to keep the copyright statements as-is, and leave it to others more knowledgable than me, to propose the updates for review in separate patchsets.
