Apache Lic on README.md files?
I was just looking at the NiFi source, and noticed that they include the
license header in their readme files. Is this something that we are
supposed to be doing or is it optional?

Since markdown is intended to be rendered when read and is rendered on GitHub I think it's also important to include the short license text not in a comment.
On a related note I think it's frowned upon to have as many wildcarded rat check excludes as are currently there in the pom. It's a hassle but it's safer to do the excludes per file in the sub-modules.

We should do this. I was not aware that Markdown took comments. Every
file which is capable of handling comments should have an apache license,
IIRC.
