[boost] Legal issues and licensing -- again

I hate to have to bring these kind of things onto the list.  Our legal department has gone through the licenses in the header files and have issues with two modules - dynamic_bitset and preprocessor. Both cases are related to the fact that below the copyright message lines such as

        // With optimizations, bug fixes, and improvements by Gennaro Prota. 
and
        # /* Revised by Paul Mensonides (2002) */ 

appear. They have an issue with the fact in both cases the person in question did not add an additional copyright message. Now, I am at odds and ends here as I am not a legal expert, but I am of the opinion that the legal department is wrong in this case. Can someone shed some light on this?
