Description
We should try to do a quick sweep through all of these and change them to the same text, which better reflects the actual copyright (which is held jointly by all libuv project contributors, per https://github.com/libuv/libuv/blob/v1.x/LICENSE#L1). For example, some say minor variations, such as:
/* Copyright libuv project and contributors. All rights reserved.
/* Copyright libuv contributors. All rights reserved.
