Hi folks,

according to our hacking rules all source files should contain the Apache 
license header in the beginning 
(http://docs.openstack.org/developer/hacking/#openstack-licensing).
There are special files that in most of the cases are empty, i.e., __init__.py.

I used to put license headers to __init__ files when I was working on Neutron 
or Ironic. However, recently I got
a feedback for one of my patches from several folks that said that licence 
headers should be removed from __init__ files because
empty files are not source files.

The point of this email is _not_ to blame someone or to push my personal 
opinion to the folks who gave me the feedback. What I'm trying to do is to to 
bring more clarity to our hacking rules because, as I see, currently different 
folks interpret them differently.
