It is inconsistent but still encouraged. As a debian maintainer I much appreciate when the files all contain copyright statements, it simplifies one of the most time consuming part of packaging, making sure all the copyrights are in order. Per file copyright headers allow automated tools to quickly classify a source tree and make it easier to find the files that need more detailed checking. > > > I am curious why a licence in a top level directory that explicitly > states it applies to everything in that directory is not > sufficiently clear.

Yes you only need to include a short header not the full license. The recommended header is in the APPENDIX section: http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0 _______________________________________________ cython-devel mailing list cython-devel@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/cython-devel
