In my opinion we should include the full header, that is important to
comply with the ASF licenses policies, unless there is a strong reason for
not doing so.
So not in README, right? I try here to have things consistent. We have
currently 9 readme files with ASL2 headers on a total of ~30
BTW, the Q/A you have quoted doesn't apply very well to the scenario you
are considering: the rule doesn't say "you can use the short header if the
file is short". For short README files this one is more relevant:
http://www.apache.org/legal/src-headers.html#faq-exceptions
Yes I know, the proposition was to shorten the short files lengths (some are only a line) since it's possible to use only this sentence. I have not a
strong opinion about it anyway.
Note: all scripts file in the tools folder have the plain ASL2 header
By the way, my preference is, inline with what is mentioned in that
document, to "err on having a source header and contact legal-discuss@ if
unsure".
I'll not, I just wanted to clarify with the community :)

Hi,
At https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-6243 we had a discussion
about "ASL2 header in short files"
I'd like to propose as a project policy that we use this sentence proposed
at http://www.apache.org/legal/src-headers.html#is-a-short-form
-of-the-source-header-available
"Licensed to the Apache Software Foundation (ASF) under one or more
contributor license agreements; and to You under the Apache License,
Version 2.0. "
I know it's there proposed for other categories of files, but I think it
fits, I see no reason to have a longer header than the content in short
files
For short files, I see at least scripts (*.sh & *.bat), index.jsp,
error*.jsp, *.properties and all readme kinds. Though we could also remove
ASL2 headers in readme containing it to be consistent (see my last comment
in OFBIZ-6243)
Opinions?
Jacques
