Take https://github.com/apache/incubator-netbeans/blob/master/apisupport.wizards/src/org/netbeans/modules/apisupport/project/ui/wizard/wizard/instantiatingIterator.javx This didn't used to have a license header at all prior to the donation I believe? So, the file itself has a license, but I assume from the way that the license has been added to the template it's effectively a comment, and so the output of the template process is still a file with no license, which is as it should be in my opinion. I'm wondering at what point, if at all, the code generated by a template in this way becomes determined as needing to carry the Apache license?
