Jean, as usual, thanks for providing the useful info.
My take on it - this is yet another insanity coming from the world
ruled by lawyers, and we have no choice, but comply. As far as the
exported wiki-docs, I guess we'll have to augment the ant script with
the header addition step. We can do the same thing for the generated
test classes (generate with standard template, and then postprocess
with Ant to add a header). Maven migration is going to be fun...

Jean/etc can chime in on this later if they want.
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.

Also, I'm not going to add headers to the generated classes, such as
_Artist.java and Artist.java, since these are produced from a
template
and we don't want the standard templates to have the ASF headers in
them.
It looks like many test classes don't have headers, either, but
I'll add
it to them.
Thanks,

Ooops, misread what you said originally. Thanks.
I'm adding the ASF license to a few files which were missing the OS
one,
but everything else is looking good so far. Do you think
org/apache/cayenne/dba/types.xml (and kin) need it, too? My gut
feeling
is no.
I don't know. I guess we can add the header as XML comment. Probably
wouldn't hurt.
What about HTML files? I'm guessing no on that one, too. At
least for now ...
At least not in cayenne-other/wiki-docs, as those are generated.
