So we don't apply a lazy consensus here and we need a vote? Why not follow the
advice in this page?
Note that I have no strong opinion on putting the ASL2 header or not, I want
things to be consistent

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.

That seems OK with me

Legal statements are not required in readme files, as per consensus in

Consensus? I was actually the only one to reply to your proposal and I
wrote:
"In my opinion we should include the full header, that is important
to comply with the ASF licenses policies, unless there is a strong
reason
for not doing so.
[...]
By the way, my preference is, inline with what is mentioned in that
document, to "err on having a source header and contact legal-discuss@
if
unsure."
