Hi Chris,
Apache Pekko has its own complicated history but in short, the code
was never explicitly granted to the ASF. We forked Akka because they
changed the license of a commonly used Apache licensed set of libs to
the Business Sottware License, a Category X License.

The source headers we are using were agreed in this issue:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LEGAL-626

I would suggest that no project should use non-standard source headers
without getting them approved in a similar way (i.e. get it discussed
with the Apache Legal Team first).

Regards,
PJ
