The "ASF Source Header and Copyright Notice Policy" here:
http://www.apache.org/legal/src-headers.html
says:
"2. Each source file should include the following license header..."
and then later under the FAQ it clarifies this with:
"What files in an Apache release do not require a license header?"
"A file without any degree of creativity in either its literal
elements or its structure is not protected by copyright law;
therefore, such a file does not require a license header. If in doubt
about the extent of the file's creativity, add the license header to
the file"
