   @xiaoxiang781216 First, note the weird failure mode of this check.  Looks like a tool failure:
   
       Check failure on line 1 in .github
       @github-actions github-actions / check
       .github#L1
       Process completed with exit code 1.
   
   We need to be very careful with any automated header changes.  The are some execptions to almost every rule.  Some people (inappropriately) added copyright to code.  It is very common for people to take my file, modify a line or two and add themselves to the Copyright holders.
   
   There are also controversial files that we need to handle separately.  So any tool would have to carefully check that (1) only one person claims to hold a copyright and (2) that person is on e the list of people who have granted software to the ASF.
   
   Has Sony and Pinecone official submitted SGAs?  Or is this this just a verbal permission to change copyrights.  The safest thing would be if you were to change all Pinecone copyrighted code, not someone else.
   
   I have submitted an SGA.
   
   Others have granted permission to change the copyrights:  Ken Pettit and others, but we should formalized that process somehow.
   
   This discussion belong on the dev list!
