Bug 1214176 seeks to "Fix copyright headers to be compliant with Foundation policies" and one of the changes being made is to substitute "OpenStack Foundation" in places where the code said "OpenStack LLC".

Someone just pushed changes to Keystone, Murano and Trove today and I have some concerns about this change.

Consider the following changes, [2], [3], [4], and [5].

They assert a copyright in 2011 or 2010 of an entity called "OpenStack Foundation" that was only established in 2012 [6].

Are these changes legally accurate?
