Hello,
When reviewing a patch I became unsure if the source file header should
include a copyright notice or not. I see that we have both in our repos.
which files in the repo now have copyrights?

Most of these are recent additions (one is from October 2006).
I removed the nine copyright (all Apache) lines in commit 536122.
I found no copyright lines in 10.2.
Is this okay, or do the people who actually wrote the code have to do it?

10.2 and forward should
adhere to this policy:
http://www.apache.org/legal/src-headers.html
10.1 and earlier adhere to the old policy, which included an Apache
copyright line on each source file. --That's fine. If we were to do a
new 10.1 release, which seems unlikely, then we would have to update
everything to conform to the new header.
According to some people I talked with, the copyright notice with dates
(years) should not be included. But, looking at
http://www.apache.org/dev/apply-license.html#new and
http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0.html#apply, it is clearly
stated that a copyright notice should be included.
Have we decided not to include the copyright notice?
Can anyone clarify this for me?
Current policy says to not include the copyright line per-file and to
include the header on this page:
http://www.apache.org/legal/src-headers.html
The apply-license.html file hasn't been updated yet, but nags are being
sent semi-regularly to legal-discuss [1].
If new copyrights (i.e., non-Apache) are being included in a patch, then
let's be sure to discuss case-by-case.
