We are following the guidance here:
https://www.apache.org/legal/src-headers.html

and we completely document which file types/rationale for any OW projec 
use of a short header:
https://github.com/apache/incubator-openwhisk-release/blob/master/docs/license_compliance.md

it also indicates where our exclusions and rationale as well.  Different 
projects/PMCs may have come to other conclusions, but IMO we are not out 
of compliance with any known written instructions found under the legal 
doc.

Kind regards,
Matt

Subject:        Rejecting short license header in scancode





It has been pointed out on multiple incubator voting threads for our 
recent
releases that we are releasing source files that inappropriately use the
short form of the Apache License Header.  See [1] for the policy.  My take
is that pretty much none of our files should be using the short header.

We probably should add a flag to scancode to enable/disable short form
headers and then work through each repo to fix the problematic files and
enable the correct rules.  It will be a bit tedious, but I don't see an
alternative.  Opinions and/or volunteers?
