[LEGAL] maven.xml and project.xml don't have licenses
The main 'maven.xml' and 'project.xml' don't have any licenses inside
them. Is this intentional or an oversight?

I think it makes sense for each file to have a license or licence
pointer. Otherwise, how do I know that I have the rights to use the
'project.xml' file for anything, or even modify it?
At least if the file had a short header, such as 'Apache Software
License (for full details see LICENSE.txt)' then this could be put in
place on everything.

Do they need licenses?
If the ASL had a terse license for file headers I would be much happier
about adding it to everything.
James mentioned to me that there was some consideration to do this, but
has not moved very far. Does anyone know?

AFAIK we've never put licences in build files anywhere else in Apache
(maven.xml, project.xml, build.xml). I don't see any major reasons why
we'd need to - unless someone else has?
