-* Additional copyright may be retained by contributors other
-  than Mozilla, the Rust Project Developers, or the parties
-  enumerated in this file. Such copyright can be determined
-  on a case-by-case basis by examining the author of each
-  portion of a file in the revision-control commit records
-  of the project, or by consulting representative comments
-  claiming copyright ownership for a file.
-
-  For example, the text:
-
-      "Copyright (c) 2011 Google Inc."
-
-  appears in some files, and these files thereby denote
-  that their author and copyright-holder is Google Inc.
-
-  In all such cases, the absence of explicit licensing text
-  indicates that the contributor chose to license their work
-  for distribution under identical terms to those Mozilla
-  has chosen for the collective work, enumerated at the top
-  of this file. The only difference is the retention of
-  copyright itself, held by the contributor.
