Please do not add an Apache header to the README or NOTICE (or the LICENSE).  
I'm pretty sure it is just a convention to not add the header.  Headers are not 
a legal thing, they are just helpful signposts.  A missing header does not 
change the copyright of the content.  I would also argue that there isn't 
anything worth copyrighting in these files.

I thought Apache didn't like markdown files for README/RELEASE_NOTES.  They 
look great on Github, but can be less readable in plain text.  Maybe that's 
changed though.

I would prefer that there aren't lots of README/RELEASE_NOTES in the tree, so 
not sure we should recursively exclude all .md files.

My.2 cents,
-Alex

    Hi all.
    
    So what is the difference between code and documentation? 
    I would say none. 
    So if I would be asked, I'd probably add the headers to all md, adoc, 
whatsoever files.
