I am sure you know this (especially since you first pointed me at this
page), but the release FAQ [1] makes it sound like you need the header, if
you assume your templates are source:
Which Files Must Contain An ASF License Text?
Every source file must contain the appropriate ASF License text.
I am no lawyer, so I will defer to someone who has more experience than
me to help you determine whether your snippets count as source.
I think that is a bug in the Release FAQ. What i've been told in the
past but which i can't find links to right now, is that the top level
LICENSE file covers everything anyway and the individual license
headers aren't strictly necessary especially for source files without
significant IP.
Really? That then would be quite some 'bug' IMO.
I can't recall have heard it said like this before, instead confirmation of
the above rule quite often. Exceptions (no headers) only being allowed for
sources without real IP value.

IMHO if the headers are problematic for Wookie in
those files then it would be ok to just not include the header.

I've just asked for clarification about this over at legal -
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LEGAL-124
Seems to me this has been asked and answered before:
