Most of the Commons projects show up in GitHub as having the Apache 2.0 License

However a few show up as 'other':

commons-codec
commons-csv
commons-dbutils
commons-exec
commons-jelly
commons-logging
commons-math
commons-rdf
commons-text
commons-weaver

AFAICT this is because there is more than 1 LICENSE file at the top level:
I forked codec and deleted the LICENSE-header.txt file, and the
license then showed up as AL 2.0.

I think it's not only GitHub that might be confused by such files, so
I suggest they are moved or renamed to avoid the confusion. They are
only needed for Checkstyle, so perhaps could be named accordingly,
e.g. checkstyle-header.txt

[Obviously there would need to be corresponding changes in the pom and
assembly files]

WDYT?
