Exclude .template files?

Seems to me .template files are user-facing and code generators so
they should *not* have a license header, correct?

See for yourself with Tools | Templates, then Open in Editor.

An user working for a corporation might not like to see an Apache
copyright header after clicking on Open in Editor from Tools |
Templates.

Templates also seem to be pretty basic, so there's not much IP to
expressly protect.

depends - template files can be freemarker code. Freemarker supports
comments, that don't appear in the target document.

So the easiest route is to add the license header in this case.
