Applying the Apache License 2.0

Hello,

I wondered how to apply the license change to the Lenya project.

I'm especially interested in how to handle the license on source file
layer. I found at http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0.html in the
APPENDIX that we could include a boilerplate like this:

   Copyright [yyyy] [name of copyright owner]

   Licensed 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

       http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0

   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.

BTW: who is the copyright owner of a source file? The original author? I
think so.

I wonder if it is possible to modify cvs to include the boilerplate
where appropriate.

Comments?

No, it's "The Apache Software Foundation".
