Hi Patrick,

  Thanks for the feedback!

Apache Sentry build invokes RAT check by default and these scripts scripts
are excluded [1] from the check. The .sql files are used for creating
schema for Sentry metadata. Some of these are generated by native DB export
tools and others by cherry-picking parts of the top level script (for
upgrades).  In fact we did have some of these files in the last 1.4.0
release as well. There are other Apache projects like Apache Hive, which
includes similar SQL files without license header [2].

Given that the SQLs are generated using external tools and there's already
a precedence of using such files without a license header, do you still
think we should add licenses in Sentry ?

thanks
Prasad
