Since you are updating the copyright, why not updating the licensing
to use the new concise SPDX ids instead? [1]
And you get a big good karma bonus if you can also do the same for all
HPE-copyrighted files, tree-wide ;) and/or spread the word inside your
team.

Thank you for your kind consideration!
