You own copyright on any contributions you make, regardless of what any
Copyright statement at the top of the file says. Just like the Author
lines in file headers, these Copyright lines in source files are at best
outdated and incomplete. Anyone who wishes to identify the copyright
ownership has no choice but to look at the git history which records
exactly who wrote what.
