Well, I think I'll raise a bugzilla entry with this info, as a reminder to think about this further. But for the moment, I'm inclined to leave digester as it is, until Robert Donkin reappears and lets us know why this was added in the first place.

my level of legal paranoia is higher than some other committers. at the time, we needed *everything* licensed with ASL2.0 ASAP. (there are some jurisdictions which may - in theory - require explicit - rather than implied - licenses for anything and everything.) so, i added them everywhere i could including the documentation.
i've never actually been convinced by the prevailing copyright theories around apache concerning documentation (these are that implied copyright is sufficient). so, if it's causing problems, i'd be happy for the license to be removed.
