Research direction
Inspect the Java source files for their first copyright lines and compare the contributor names with notice.md. Update eligible headers to the generic Eclipse Foundation wording while preserving each file’s date, then review the diff to confirm the notice still lists all contributors.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
Some policies at the Eclipse foundation changed last year that allow the source headers to be more generic instead of requiring maintaining the individual contributors per file. If you look here:
https://www.eclipse.org/projects/tools/about.php?id=locationtech.spatial4j
We can change the first line (the copyright line) of source files to this:
Copyright (c) {date} Contributors to the Eclipse Foundation
Provided that our names are listed in the notice.md file.
