[ALL] Which license-header.txt File?

What license header file should we be using?  The one Commons Proxy
currently has looks like this:

/*
 * Licensed to the Apache Software Foundation (ASF) under one
 * or more contributor license agreements.  See the NOTICE file
 * distributed with this work for additional information
 * regarding copyright ownership.  The ASF licenses this file
 * to you under the Apache License, Version 2.0 (the
 * "License"); you may not use this file except in compliance
 * with the License.  You may obtain a copy of the License at

 * software distributed under the License is distributed on an
 * "AS IS" BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY
 * KIND, either express or implied.  See the License for the
 * specific language governing permissions and limitations
 * under the License.
 */

But, the one included with Commons BeanUtils looks like this:

/*
 * Licensed to the Apache Software Foundation (ASF) under one or more
 * contributor license agreements.  See the NOTICE file distributed with
 * this work for additional information regarding copyright ownership.
 * The ASF licenses this file to You under the Apache License, Version 2.0

 * distributed under the License is distributed on an "AS IS" BASIS,
 * WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or implied.
 * See the License for the specific language governing permissions and
 * limitations under the License.
 */

I realize that it's just line break changes, but shouldn't we all be
using the same one?

That would be optimal IMO. They all changed about a year ago when the
policy changed to not include the copyright notice. I have a feeling
Henri used a tool on commons "proper" - so hopefully they are all the
same. Anyway looks like proxy needs fixing for that (and the
NOTICE.txt file)
