Once all the copyright at the top of files are converted to (c) ASF, which portions would still be (c) IBM?

okey, after discussing this in seven different directions, we have a clear conclusion, which i'll summarise here:
1. the NOTICE file (or NOTICE.txt) gets created if it doesn't already exist, and this gets added to it:
Portions of Apache Derby are © Copyright 2004 International Business Machines Corporation. All rights reserved.
if there are earlier copyright years in any any of the main files,
the earliest one of all should be taken and used to change the notice
to 'Copyright <earliest-year>, 2004 International ..'. in other words,
the range of copyright years in the NOTICE file should be the earliest
one with IBM's name on it in the sources, followed by ', 2004'.
2. the ibm copyright in the individual files gets replaced with
Apache Derby © Copyright 2004 The Apache Software Foundation. All rights reserved.
and reference to the apache licence added as described in http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0.html#apply
et vóilà! that item can then get checked off the incubation goal list and we can focus on *real* code issues. :-)
see also http://www.apache.org/dev/apply-license.html for common questions
about this stuff. the procedure above, which has finally been clarified,
should be used by the incubator folks to update that file at some point.
