I want to use the Apache 2.0 License on one of my projects. Apache 2.0 recommends putting a boilerplate header in each code file right before module level documentation in it's Appendix section (bottom)
This is all well and good, but I can't find an answer on whether I should include the Appendix within the LICENSE file in the root of the project or take off the Appendix. Should I leave the license exactly as it appears on choosealicense.com?
For clarification, I'm talking about this section:
APPENDIX: How to apply the Apache License to your work.
To apply the Apache License to your work, attach the following boilerplate notice, with the fields enclosed by brackets "{}" replaced with your own identifying information. (Don't include the brackets!) The text should be enclosed in the appropriate comment syntax for the file format. We also recommend that a file or class name and description of purpose be included on the same "printed page" as the copyright notice for easier identification within third-party archives.
