Heron PPMC,

I’ve mentioned this before, but IMO, this practice needs to stop.

The community default seems to be to apply the Apache license header with a 
twitter copyright assertion on all files, even ones copied from other 
ALv2-licensed projects.

Twitter can’t assert copyright on code their employees didn’t create, though, 
at least in this project, they continue to do so. I find this practice 
unacceptable.

Please reconsider even including “Copyright Twitter $date” at all in license 
headers. That’s more suitable for the NOTICE file, and removed from the source 
header.

Aside from having a twitter account, I have no affiliation with twitter. As a 
mentor I was surprised and disappointed to see a Twitter copyright applied to 
my own (implicitly copyrighted) work. That’s not cool, nor really (IANAL) legal.

I would appreciate if this could be corrected. This kind of thing is something 
podlings need to know how to address proactively.
