Richard, I would like to hear your reasoning here, as this strikes me as a bad idea. By my reading, there are strict restrictions on removing anyone's copyright or attribution notices (cf Section 4.2 of the Apache license).

I think this is no longer a legal question (we established that they are not necessary), but a project consistency/cleanup effort discussion... so we should move it to openstack-dev, and discuss the three options on the table with all the devs. Actually I think there is one more legal question around this topic...
Are we allowed to unilaterally remove those copyright mentions from the header, or do we absolutely need to seek permission from the original holder ?
On the -dev list discussion Sean suggested a "flag day" after which if you didn't object the new format (without copyright mentions) would be policy... I wonder if we could actually remove those mentions at that point without formal approval. There are a couple of reasons why I think you can handle it this way, if you want to. I can go into detail if anyone's interested (especially if anyone disagrees with me).
