Agreed.  The misconception is that the last guy to modify some code not created 
by that person gets to put his license over all of it.

There is indeed plenty of detail to take into consideration, and we could 
ping-pong the discussion around many nuances if we wanted to (for example: 
there's often no need to edit the file to change the way it is licensed as part 
of a larger work). 

One benefit there seems to be from having me join a thread is people add a lot 
more detail to the discussion in order to correct me, even when we agree. 
Suffice to say we're generally agreed that Jürgen's original assumption ("This 
code becomes automatically Apache licensed, correct?") is probably not right :-)
