The reason to put a license headers in example files is to be clear about that the particular file is distributed under the ASL and the the rights are not reserved. This is what I understood by the following FAQ [1] <snip> Why is a licensing header necessary? License headers allow someone examining the file to know the terms for the work, even when it is distributed without the rest of the distribution. Without a licensing notice, it must be assumed that the author has reserved all rights, including the right to copy, modify, and redistribute. </snip> In other words, it reminds the user that he is free to use it :-) Antonio [1] http://www.apache.org/legal/src-headers.html#faq-whyheader --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
