Not really, but one could be started.

My opinion, and this has been backed up by legal counsel on another
project I've been involved in, is that a short term reference is no less
legally defendable than including the whole license, in other words
legally it'd have the same effect; the ASF hasn't adopted that as a policy
yet, though, since there are parties who disagree. It's a topic for
discussion about licensing with the ASF's lawyers, so I'd hope we could
get an answer to that soon.
