    @clebertsuconic I checked the license guide here: 
http://www.apache.org/legal/src-headers.html
    
    Given the nature of the file in question, a case could be made for it to 
come under this section:
    
    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.
    
    For this reason I think you are safe in ignoring the license header on this 
file.  Particularly due to the difficulty in removing the header during the 
templating process.
