I haven't read this thread very carefully this morning :-) but
documentation source needs the header, and the policy does apply to
documentation files included in a release according to
http://www.apache.org/legal/src-headers.html . For example, for derby,
this means the dita xml source for documentation needs the header, as do
the html files generated from that xml source.

Picture it this way: if somebody wants to reuse a particular file, we
want the license governing use/reuse of that file to be clear.
