I still don't see where the consensus was reached: discussions in Jira are not the same as discussion on the dev list (which is mentioned by Jacques in "as per consensus in dev mail thread"). Also the conversation between Jacques and Pierre in Jira is resolved with an unclear resolution to me. In my opinion it is safer to include the license header in all the files, including README files and the cost of adding it is negligible.
