Can i change apache license owner to our company name?

题

Our previous developer set his name in the license of our open source project.

Thats how license header looks:

Can we change that to our company name?

解决方案

If he was an employee of the company and used company property/time to write the software then the copyright would belong to the company.

Unless their employment contract gave him ownership rights of the software they produced. You can modify it however you want.

Since the code is open source, you may need to get permission from outside contributors to change the license if there are any.
