Description
As we did for JanusGraph when we imported and cleaned up the Titan repo, we should make the following changes:
- [ ] "Copyright YEAR Expero Inc." should be updated to "Copyright YEAR JanusGraph Authors"
- [ ] we should create `AUTHORS.txt` and list the copyright holders there — starting with "Expero Inc." in this case1
- [ ] we should create `CONTRIBUTORS.txt` and list the contributors (non-copyright-holders) there — starting with Ted Wilmes in this case2
For example, in case when a developer is working for a company, and the company retains copyright over their contributions to JanusGraph, the company would be listed in `AUTHORS.txt` while the person contributing should be in `CONTRIBUTORS.txt`. You can see examples of these files in the JanusGraph repo:
* https://github.com/JanusGraph/janusgraph/blob/master/AUTHORS.txt
* https://github.com/JanusGraph/janusgraph/blob/master/CONTRIBUTORS.txt
The `CONTRIBUTORS.txt` includes a command for how the initial version was generated, so we can start with that.
---
1 and any other historical contributors who own copyrights over their contributions, or their companies if they own those contributions
2 and any other historical contributors who don't own copyright over their contributions — if they do, they should be listed in `AUTHORS.txt` instead

Research direction
Inspect all source files for the existing Expero Inc. copyright text, then compare the AUTHORS.txt and CONTRIBUTORS.txt examples in the JanusGraph repository. Use the contributor-generation command mentioned in CONTRIBUTORS.txt as the starting point. Done means the copyright records are updated and both lists include the applicable historical copyright holders and contributors.
