Hey Jonathon,
Welcome to this list. There is one thing which also needs to be understood
and mentioned: the Document Foundation does not take the copyright of its
contributors. So we should not be listed as copyright owners.

Technically, it needs to read

Only when one is 100% guaranteed that no code from a specific copyright
holder is included, can the specific copyright holder be dropped from
the list. (Looking at the source code, I can't tell what pre-dates 2000.)


Note # 1: I've gotten the name of the German company wrong.  That needs
to be replaced with the correct name;
Note # 2: The list needs to start with when that German company started
coding the project;
Note # 3: I'm assuming that Sun, Inc was the sole copyright owner, for
code added to OOo during the years it ran the project.  If it wasn't,
the other copyright owners need to have their names added;
Note # 4: The copyright list states who the copyright holder was, when
it was published, not who the current copyright holder is;
Note # 5: "and other affiliates" needs to replaced with the name of the
specific copyright holders;
