Re: Apache 2.0 License headers in source files

[Alin Jerpelea]

Hi all,

I think that we as mainainers should look at all code that we know and
involves us and do the change area by area
For the Sony contributions I will change the license in all contributed
files as soon as I get clearance from our department

Regards
Alin
