>From what I can tell we have been failing this since August 2010. https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf?p=maven.git;a=blob;f=apache-maven/NOTICE.txt;hb=bfaf11090a212f8445f2ad929af8acce5a984bf0 I can't find change history for http://www.apache.org/legal/src-headers.html so I don't know if we have been failing all the time, or since it was changed.
