Mike Drob commented on ACCUMULO-2745:
-------------------------------------

Other README files in our repository missing licence headers are:

conf/examples/crypto/readme.txt
test/compat/japi-compliance/README

However, these may be minimal enough to qualify for exception status. The ASF 
guidelines suggest adding source headers if there is doubt.

> The README file in the root of our repository is missing a license header. 
> This is a problem because if somebody was given the README file outside of 
> the context of our distribution, then they would not know what rights they 
> had to it.
> The README is a large document with lots of creative content, therefore it is 
> not exempt from ASF policy in this area.
