The copyright notice was old and outdated.  The original contributor of
this file to the upstream project, SGI, fixed the copyright notice
already back in 2000.  I just did the same in the Cygwin LTP testsuite.

Other than that, we can't give you definitive legal advice here, for
hopefully obvious reasons (IANAL and all that).  Have a look into the
updated, correct copyright notice and see if it works for you.  If you
need definitive legal advice, you should really ask your legal dept.
