If in doubt about the extent of the file's creativity, add the license header to the file. 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. - Test data for which the addition of a source header would cause the tests to fail. - 'Snippet' files that are combined as form a larger file where the larger file would have duplicate licensing headers. PMCs should use their judgement, err on having a source header and contact legal-discuss@ if unsure."
