We're still working out legalities, but the precedent for legal notices
for a source file that is non-Sun-authored
is to not include the Sun copyright line

For example, here is a Google-authored file:

http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~martin/webrevs/openjdk7/timsort/src/share/classes/java/util/TimSort.java.html

(and files obtained from the public domain have no copyright line
inside their legal notice at all)

It's no big deal either way, especially for tests,
as all contributors retain their rights under SCA.
