Zoltan, Because the copyright notice now says you own it I guess the best way to approach this is is when you put up a pull request with all those files files having a new license header. That way it is clear that you made the license switch. I think this should be a separate jira to document this clearly.
What do you guys think about this approach? @Nandor / Gabor: I'll put up a ticket that we should run rat much more often (for both 1.8 and master).
