<<Other files may make sense to have no license header. Three examples are:

 * Short informational text files; for example README, INSTALL files. The expectation 
is that these files make it obvious which product they relate to.>>

That seems OK with me

Legal statements are not required in readme files, as per consensus in dev
mail thread with title 'Shorter ASL2 header in short files'. The mail

Consensus? I was actually the only one to reply to your proposal and I

"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.

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."
