Description

The license headers for several files say they are copyright of AOSP. Is that correct? My understanding is that the non-external sources should have copyright matching the NOTICE file: "Copyright 2016 LinkedIn Corp."

Example:
https://github.com/linkedin/dexmaker/blob/main/dexmaker-mockito-inline/src/main/java/com/android/dx/mockito/inline/ClassTransformer.java

Research direction

Start by reading the NOTICE file and comparing its copyright statement with the header in dexmaker-mockito-inline/src/main/java/com/android/dx/mockito/inline/ClassTransformer.java. Search the repository for other files using the AOSP header, verify which sources are non-external, and update only the headers confirmed to be incorrect.
