Sigfred's point is that it's not legal to unilaterally remove Hojin's
copyright statement; unless Hojin explicitly assigns copyright to
CollabNet, the file has to be removed (or the "all copyright must be
CollabNet" policy must be relaxed). If Hojin does assign copyright, you
can change the copyright statement; his email making the assignment
should probably be put in the svn:log for the revision that changes the
copyright statement.
