Thrift also recently came under a bit of fire for ignoring Apache branding rules. Perhaps not the greatest standard. If there's no sane/easy way to add the license header, i'd at least make it say Autogenerated by Apache Tiles instead of just Tiles. But if you can add that, seems to me it shouldn't be too much harder to add the standard header.
IANAL, but i believe copyright doesn't require a header, but we add it to make it beyond question that the file is meant to be under ASL rules.
