Yes it would be possible to do that. Another approach would be to rewrite the
entire file from scratch. I've contemplated that. :-)
Note that years ago Sun had a similar problem with a Microsoft copyright… there
was big effort to nuke all Microsoft code so it was possible to remove the
Microsoft copyright messages. :-) I don't think removing all Oracle copyrights
is a reasonable thing for us to do.
