[jira] [Reopened] (ACTIVEMQ6-43) Replace License Headers on codebase

["Gary Tully (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACTIVEMQ6-43?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Gary Tully reopened ACTIVEMQ6-43:
---------------------------------

Can I get a second set of eyes on this. We may have the wrong license.

We seem to have: http://www.apache.org/legal/src-headers.html
but from: http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0.html#apply
the expectation is something else. I wonder which is correct?

Also,
I ran:{code}mvn org.apache.rat:apache-rat-plugin:0.11:check{code}
on https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/activemq-6.git
and there are 811 files that don't have a license.

>From http://www.apache.org/legal/src-headers.html - all human readable files should have a copyright header but there are exceptions, if the content is too simple to mandate a copyright - http://www.apache.org/legal/src-headers.html#faq-exceptions

I think the xml config from the examples and starts scripts from the distro do fall under that category. 
But all of the documentation does not.
The documentation in .md will need a license header me thinks, hence the reopen.

> The code was relicensed / donated to Apache, hence we need to replace the old license headers.
> I suggest we use this one, taken / copied from Apollo... I think it's a no brainer and nobody would object it.. but if anyone objects is please let us know here:
