[jira] [Commented] (LEGAL-114) License Header - Short Form?
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LEGAL-114?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13675142#comment-13675142 ]
Roger Meier commented on LEGAL-114:
-----------------------------------
my favorit is this:
# © The Apache Software Foundation
# http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0
Just the copyright and the license, ok from a legal perspective?
A nice benefit from a developers perspective... *focus on code*

> Hi all
> Today the license headers within files does need ~ 15 lines within a file.
> This needs lot of space at the top of a file, probably too much if you have a small README file.
> e.g. http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/thrift/trunk/tutorial/README?view=markup
> Is it possible to use a smaller header reflecting the license terms within a source or README file?
> Can we use something like that one or a shorter one?
