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 From: "David P Grove" <[email protected]> To: "OpenWhisk Dev" <[email protected]> Date: 05/05/2019 03:47 PM 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.
