Sorry, please ignore that.  I was confused.

What I meant was, when we start the [VOTE] thread, it would make sense 
to point this out to people (so they know that these files don't need 
any Apache license headers).  Alternatively, we could create an 
annotated RAT report like I did for the Java version where we explain that.

I won't have time to look at the source distribution this week, I'm 
afraid.  Hopefully next week.  Sorry about that.
