Perhaps, but that's a different change than this is addressing. This is
only addressing fixing the comments about the removal of the code.

But looking at the history of this file. Seiji created it, but the only
code that remains in the file was mostly added by Thomas. The only lines
that Seiji has now is the whitespace and the brackets.

I would still have the removal of the copyright as a separate patch.
