Handle Copyright According to Policy
Run the copyright wizard on the entire branch for java files. Or you can diff in version control and go through the new files. Note, only new files should have diffs... this is the custom copyright. You can update the year for new files, don't update the year for existing files. The year should be used and not a range. That is our policy on copyrights.
