I am sure you know this (especially since you first pointed me at this page),
but the release FAQ [1] makes it sound like you need the header, if you assume
your templates are source:
Which Files Must Contain An ASF License Text? Every source file must contain the appropriate ASF License text.
I am no lawyer, so I will defer to someone who has more experience than me to
help you determine whether your snippets count as source.
I think that is a bug in the Release FAQ. What i've been told in the past but which i can't find links to right now, is that the top level LICENSE file covers everything anyway and the individual license headers aren't strictly necessary especially for source files without significant IP.
Really? That then would be quite some 'bug' IMO. I can't recall have heard it said like this before, instead confirmation of the above rule quite often. Exceptions (no headers) only being allowed for sources without real IP value.

IMHO if the headers are problematic for Wookie in those files then it would be ok to just not include the header.
