The actual gate rule is that the copyright passes through.  If you've
made non-trivial contributions to the file, then you add your
copyright (and you don't remove any others).  If you haven't, then you
must not add anything.

It doesn't matter who maintains it or whether it's a makefile.  All
that matters is who created the content.

Thus, if a Sun employee modifies a file (again, in a non-trivial way)
that is originally from someone else, then you'll find two or more
copyright notices -- one of them for SMI.
