You might ask to the legal team, as I'm not sure of the rationale of the sentence that you missed in the NOTICE file and how much "required" it is. The part of src-headers we are referring to was committed by Cliff Schmith, then Legal VP, on Jul 17, 2006, r422600 and this part of it has never been changed since then. In my opinion, stating that the product includes software developed at the ASF is probably redundant, given the LICENSE file that governs the collective work. I guess it is there so that the remaining "portions" make sense together with a given "whole". In any case, as it is current policy, it should be followed, and changes to it discussed in legal-discuss.
