      Filing this bug per Dave's request (please assign the bug to Dave Katleman).

      Script: /java/re/jdk/7/nightly/bin/share/check.sh
      (the script checks that every source file has an OSS copyright notice)

      1) Known limitation of the script: it does not verify copyright year range.
      It would be nice if this was fixed (this is probably more an RFE, then a bug).

      2) While testing the script, we found cases when script passes an incorrect copyright string:

      For example, in the following file:
        /net/jano/export/disk29/jcg/ws/7/awt/Bad_copyright_IdentityLinkedList.java
      the copyright line has "(c)" string in it, however the script reports no errors.
        " * Copyright (c) 2007 Sun Microsystems, Inc. All Rights Reserved."

      To repro the issue:
      [jcg-integrator@karachi:share]$ pwd
      /java/re/jdk/7/nightly/bin/share
      [jcg-integrator@karachi:share]$ sh check.sh jdk /net/jano/export/disk29/jcg/ws/7/awt/Bad_copyright_IdentityLinkedList.java
