@Peter: It has to be a copyright holder or their agent.  I think that =
means you [;<).

The specific text is at item (2) on =
<http://www.apache.org/legal/src-headers.html>
Under "Source File Headers for Code Developed at the ASF."  These need =
to be in a
comment appropriate to the type of file the notice is placed at the top =
of.

Note that there will be no Copyright notice, just the text notice =
specified by the=20
ASF.  Also, Copyright notices from third parties are not to be altered.  =
I don't
think there are any of those, except in externals, but if they are, they =
need to=20
be identified and treated differently.

Here's a version I found in a .sh file that also works elsewhere that =
this comment
form is allowed:

Here's a version I found on an .hxx file that works anywhere that
the C Language comment structure works (including Java, etc.),

I'd say either of these works just fine where they are valid
comments.

I don't know about the "//" comment form.  It appears that the
RAT analyzer may have problem with some of these and it is
important to ensure that a RAT scan will not be derailed.
Since these have no copyright notices, it should not matter
though.

I=E2=80=99m not sure whether I=E2=80=99m the only one authorized, but =
I=E2=80=99m happy to do it. I just need to know what the exact changes =
are that need to be made, so I only have to do the process once (and =
I=E2=80=99ll use a script, changing every file manually would be quite =
tedious).
