depends on the nature of the changes: were they creative enough? in
this case, it's tough to be certain.

in the case of uncertain, IMHO the best approach is to be clear about
our intentions: apache intends that the apache license is used for
it's works. WRAPPER.license allows sub-licensing (which is what we
have done). if the JAMES changes were not creative enough to be
copyrightable then a user can simply use the original license (if they
prefer). however, if they were creative enough to be copyrightable and
a header was not added then users would need to rely on an implied
license.

so on balance, it's best to err on the side of caution and give it
have a header.
