Open Stack

I am not a lawyer, but the law as I understand it is - 

Copyright is held by the author and or the company that that author is working for under a work for hire agreement. The code that is contributed is licensed under the Apache 2.0 license. 

The original contributor does retain Copyright, which does provide for legal protections for Corporate contributors, as well as aligning into retained Patents on inventions implemented through code contributed (and licensed) to OpenStack.

Is it actually desirable to anyone to keep these copyright statements in these files?
