> WHAT FILES IN AN APACHE RELEASE DO NOT REQUIRE A LICENSE HEADER? > A file without any degree of creativity in either its literal elements or its structure is not protected by copyright law; therefore, such a file does not require a license header. If in doubt about the extent of the file's creativity, add the license header to the file. > > It may make sense for some other files to have no license header. Three examples are: > > Short informational text files; for example README, INSTALL files. The expectation is that these files make it obvious which product they relate to. > Test data for which the addition of a source header would cause the tests to fail. 'Snippet' files that are included in a larger file, when the larger file would have duplicate licensing headers. > PMCs should use their judgement, err on having a source header and contact legal-discuss@ if unsure. https://www.apache.org/legal/src-headers.html This file has a low level of creativity because it is copied from the official Snowflake documentation, and is a test data for which the addition of a source header would cause the tests to fail. According to Apache's FAQ, we don't need to have a license header in this file. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
