Most of the ldif files do not have a license header

I don't think it's required. The ASF policy is quite clear about the
fact that any source file should (read : must) include the ASL License
Header, but :
http://www.apache.org/legal/src-headers.html#faq-exceptions
"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."
There is no creativity in those LDIF files, they are either generated
from OpenLDAP schema files through a generator or a direct extraction
from Studio. (IMO)
Do you guys agree ?
