Note that you should only do that if the file is your own work.

Hi Guys,
Thank you all.
I think that i solve the problem adding the license to the file that produce the error.

Every time I've received a licence error working on the crypto project it
was because I was missing the Apache license in the source header. That
seemed the most likely scenario here.

Sorry, but that is not correct.
One cannot just add the license to a file without checking that the
license applies.
What command are you using to build?
Which files are causing the errors?
It's possible that there are some spurious files that are being picked
up by the license check.
It may be necessary to update the list of excluded files, but again,
this should only be done if the file does not need a license header.

Paste the license into the source file. Check out any other source for an
example.

To get even more specific, That message is usually generated by the Maven RAT plugin. RAT is an Apache tool to verify that our projects have an appropriate license header. A file should have been generated in the “target” directory named rat.txt that lists the files without an appropriate license. You should inspect each one of these files and determine if it is just missing an Apache license, in which case you should add it, or uses some other license. If it is the latter then you should add it to the plugins list of excluded files and then, if necessary, add something to the project's NOTICE file.
