Hi Stefan,
I thought about two options:
1. add "Jump Pilot Project" as the copyright holder
2. add "the authors of this file" as the copyright holder and refer to the
@author tags of the class.
I'm completely fine about setting "Jump Pilot Project" for the
org.openjump.tests classes (option 1)
and using option 2 for the test classes I'll write.
