Hi all,

I was going through the codebase and I found that several files are not
Apache licensed.

https://github.com/apache/avro/tree/master/lang/java/compiler/src/main/java/org/apache/avro/compiler/schema

Some of these files do not have a copyright block (fixable), yet some have
this:

/*

*/

And according to https://www.apache.org/legal/resolved.html#category-x the
LGPL is not allowed to be included.

How do we fix this problem?
