	I suggest you to read the licences the software you want to 
modify is published under (in the case of kudzu the license is GPL). 
Among other things GPL says that you can't alter the copyright notices 
and every modification to the original source tree must contain a 
notification that is not part of the original source and the author of 
the original program has no responsability for this modifications and 
the way it work.

	Also, changing the copyright notice is not right: you asume that 
software is copyrighted by you or your company and it is not. Anyway as 
long as that software "does not see the sun light" and remains only on 
your hard drive or inside the company, and also the internal work 
procedures/NDA/etc from your company permit you to do such 
modification... may be ok (maybe).
