The Apache header states that the code is "licensed to Apache under one or more contributor license agreements". This means that there is an ICLA, CCLA, or grant on file from all contributors. It looks like @dbdr and @janpe2 agree to the license change to aslv2 but we don't have an ICLA on file from them. Are these the only two contributors at issue? If we don't have grants (ICLA, CCLA, grant) on file, then the license headers should not be changed, And the Apache distribution needs to preserve the copyrights of the original. The change from the third party license header to the Apache license header should really only be done here under Apache version control.
