[jakartaee-spec-project-leads] Copyrights of final specifications

I was wrong.

I've been telling many of you that the specifications, including the javadocs,
should be copyright of Oracle since they're derived from source code that is
copyright of Oracle.  That would be the standard Oracle copyright approach.

Apparently the Eclipse Foundation Specification License requires that,
even though the Eclipse Foundation hasn't directly contributed to the
content of the specifications, the final versions of the specifications
(which includes the specification documents and the javadocs), must be
copyright "Eclipse Foundation".  We're assigning the Eclipse Foundation
copyright to our contributions for these specifications.

Sorry, but this means updating all our submissions to reflect this copyright
requirement.
