Hi Bob :)
the headers done by other authors are still copyright by the
original authors. The code done by the Harvey Mudd College is
copyright by it. This always must be recognisable. I didn't download
your source code, that's why I don't know if the copyrights are done
right or wrong, but I guess this is the reason for the discord. Even
if you changed headers original done by other authors for more than
50% of the code, it must be noticeable who was the original author
and that you changed it. There's a stipulation: "a) You must cause
the modified files to carry prominent notices stating that you
changed the files and the date of any change."

As far as I am aware, original authors who were not employed by HMC
are noted in the headers.
It is not feasible to give a line-by-line analysis at this point, as
the code has been through thousands of versions and multiple
repositories.
