It would be best to verify this information first. Including the full
license or license "pointer" is equally enforcable under the law. From a
legal POV there is virtually no difference, neither is more or less "legal"
or "illegal".
However using the short form could violate apache policy. I seem to recall
Jon brought this up once on one of the general/committers/other lists once.
I was about to change all the licenses on Avalon then. However Brian
Behlendorf (sp?) replied and said that there was nada difference. I am not
sure if an edict was created post that stage but it seems unlikely.
I would prefer to keep current format (interferes less with my coding)
unless we have to change. If you are really concerned I guess you could
email one of foundation peeps or perhaps [EMAIL PROTECTED] or something
similar.
