(this is based on assumptions, so let me know if they are wrong Jason)

I must admit that I lack the experience to be sure of the correct action he=
re.

The image copyrights are easy; things need to be copyright to the ASF,
not to Sun. So they need fixing somehow.

Jason's code is harder.=20

It doesn't say that it's copyrighted to Jason, just that it's
originally from classes by him. As the code in Tomcat is copyright to
the ASF, there's no reason why we couldn't remove the comments apart
from the politeness aspect that Jason raises. The code isn't licenced
to the ASF, it's donated to the ASF and now owned by the ASF (for this
instance, Jason owns a duplicate instance).

Not knowing the whole story, the whole question is whether we actually
own that code or if it was licensed to Sun and then they donated it to
Apache, something they did not have the right to do. Does Jason have a
CLA, and if not, would we need one?

I think we should remove the Sun permission line; it's not important
to the existence in Tomcat. Keeping the rest of the comment seems fine
to me, provided we're sure we own the code.
