Comment:

 Per the [https://developer.wordpress.org/coding-standards/inline-
 documentation-standards/php/#other-tags WordPress Documentation
 Standards]:
 > **@author Tag**
 >
 > It is WordPress’ policy not to use the `@author` tag, except in the case
 of maintaining it in external libraries. We do not want to imply any sort
 of “ownership” over code that might discourage contribution.

 > **@copyright and @license Tags**

 > The `@copyright` and `@license` tags are used in external libraries and
 scripts, and should not be used in WordPress core files.

 > `@license` is used to specify external script licenses.

 Based on the above, would `rest-api/endpoints/class-wp-rest-sidebars-
 controller.php` still be maintained as an external library or a core file
 from now on? If the latter, then I guess this whole fragment should be
 removed from   `WP_REST_Sidebars_Controller` for consistency with other
 REST API classes:

 To keep the original author's credit, it could be replaced with a comment
 like the one we have in the `wpdb` class:
