--------------- **What files in an Apache release do not require a license header?** A file without any degree of creativity in either its literal elements or its structure is not protected by copyright law; therefore, such a file does not require a license header. If in doubt about the extent of the file's creativity, add the license header to the file. --------------- IMO the index.html has little 'creativity' in it?
