I see occasional uses of "Copyright OpenStack Foundation" in source files and I am not clear on whether this signifies code that was originally copyrighted by OpenStack LLC or, instead, some sort of attempt (like the deprecated ASF practice) to provide attribution to the OpenStack Foundation regardless of whether it is actually in any interesting sense a copyright holder.
It is also not clear to me that it is *proper* to give attribution to the OpenStack *Foundation*, but that's a project-specific cultural question and I don't have good insight into that.
In the case of code contribution from those of us who are directly employed by the OpenStack Foundation, it seems entirely appropriate (at least to me, though IANAL). I'm curious whether you have an alternative suggestion. -- Jeremy Stanley
