Your statement is generally accepted to be correct. However, it will create
unnecessary work when the ASF switches to the next version of the license
which is significantly longer than the current one. It will be impractical
to copy it verbatim in each source file. For this reason, most projects
will have to revert to using the short form. As far as I know, the short
form is perfectly legal. Please correct me if I am wrong.
