"This license applies to any original work of authorship
(the "Original Work") whose owner (the "Licensor") has placed the following notice immediately following the copyright notice for the Original Work:

Then, I think, it would be possible to reference the license via something like:
"Copyright (c) 2003 The Apache Software Foundation. All rights reserved. Licensed under the Apache Software License, Version 2.0"
But as said before, I'm definitely not a lawyer, so that's just my view of the things :) AFAICR, this possibility was planned for the 2.0 version of the ASF license.

Just in case it would be of help to any other project(s), here is a link to a message I posted earlier tonight to [EMAIL PROTECTED] The message mentions the automated process by which I updated every Java file in James to have the full ASF License instead of a short form of the license that had previously referred to the full license contained in the package.
The sed script attached to that message might be of some use, although it would need minor text changes depending upon the target project.
I have often thought it would be very very nice if the source files could reference the license, and tell you where to get it, rather than including the full text. This hugely increases the size of everything, and provides no real benefit. If each file could reference a file (included in the distribution) and a URL, surely that would be sufficient? What is the rationale for the full text in each and every file?
