Incubators: I can't find an appropriate policy on the licensing requirements of ancillary files like BUILD or CHANGES files that are commonly distributed with releases. I'm specifically looking at the somewhat vague and confusing http://incubator.apache.org/guides/releasemanagement.html but also http://www.apache.org/legal/src-headers.html. I did find:
"Does this apply to documentation files included in a release?" Yes. ...(in the context of license headers) in the src-headers.html doc, but if that's the case, it doesn't look like many projects adhere to it. Ironically enough, the RAT project (which is what I'm using from our maven build) is what caught this and has the same files with no license headers. Any direction is appreciated.
