Hi Justin, We did discuss this issue on our dev list [2] and the guidance from our mentor [3] was that since we had documented the rationale for using short form headers in additional cases, what we were doing was acceptable. We have started including the URL of our project policy on header file formats [4] in all of our release vote emails to refer voters to the project policy on allowable forms of the license headers. --dave [1] https://www.apache.org/legal/src-headers.html#is-a-short-form-of-the-source-header-available [2] https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/bbec59cc560d446a4239627dcb463bc95fb98be5eb66d525f93e5ef1@%3Cdev.openwhisk.apache.org%3E [3] https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/6d25eb12cbfad05693cda729cff62b06ba45845ad53f5d1a67a2ac97@%3Cdev.openwhisk.apache.org%3E [4] https://github.com/apache/incubator-openwhisk-release/blob/master/docs/license_compliance.md
