The HPE copyright text is different than the old SGI copyright text.
We could update the SGI copyright line to be consistent, change
"Copyright (C)" to "(C) Copyright", if that is desired.

The HPE lawyers said the old SGI copyrights do not need to be
updated as far as they are concerned, because HPE owns the SGI
copyrights, but they can.  So the two lines could be combined to 

  * (C) Copyright 2007-2017, 2020 Hewlett Packard Enterprise Development LP

I will do whatever the lawyers and community want as far as format.

For what it's worth, the rja@xxxxxxx email still works, as does rja@xxxxxxx.

Thanks.
