   BTW. @Claudenw Usually (in order to save tokens) we either use no licence or 
we use short SPDX form of it - and usually exclude the AGENTS.md/SECURITY.md 
from release - to be 100% in line with expectation of full licences in released 
source packages. 
   
   We had a lengthy discussion about it - without complete conclusion, but the 
discussion seemed to converge on "If you are not releasing the .md files, it's 
fine to have no licence or SPDX or some other short version of it. This is 
generally OK - according to 
https://www.apache.org/legal/src-headers.html#is-a-short-form-of-the-source-header-available
 - where one such example short form is allowed in justified cases, while SPDX 
seems to be another good form. and we usually exclude those files in .rat 
excludes and ignore on source releases.
   
   Long thread about it (with my assumptions summarized) can be found here -

   Greeting from NY Claude :)
