Please make this repository public

This repository is private, but since it only contains public information, we should also consider making it public.

Before we do, we need to add Apache License headers to all files in this repository.

Out of curiosity, is the license header truly necessary? Why isn't the top-level license notice sufficient?

Hi @KtorZ ,

The header is necessary if the files are detached from the top-level license file. For example, people could share only a specific repository file; in that case, there is no way to know the currently used license.

All major foundations have that approach (I know for sure from the ASF, Eclipse Foundation, or GNU software).

As you know, I am not a lawyer. Please let me know if you have a reason to avoid adding license headers to all files. In that case, we should seek legal advice.

I can also provide a PR by adding those headers if you agree with this explanation.
