   > Unfortunately, the ASF prefers that projects do not include a copyright in the license header. Individual contributors maintain copyright, not the foundation.
   
   Actually... 😃 The ASF holds the copyright to all their projects. We "grant" a copyright license to the Foundation--so they can defend their projects as a collective work owned by the ASF non-profit. We _also_ keep our personal copyrights (hence the "grant a license" language), such that each of us still holds copyright over our individual contributions--though none of us individually own the whole of Apache Annotator (only the ASF does).
   
   So, the copyright claim in the files is fine--however, we may want to consider automating this or teaching [Apache Rat](https://creadur.apache.org/rat/#About_Rat) these tricks. 😁
