The ASF member list with the Apache licensing commitee came up with an
informal resolution that *strongly* suggests to use the full version
until the Apache License 2.0 is ready. The new license is legally
designed to allow boilerplating.

So, please, until the new license is out, let's use the full license
even if it's longer. Thanks.

It appears Peter already reverted the change :(

I don't want to get into a pissing contest with him over this issue,
so I will let someone else try and convert him.
