[Incubator] PyWPS copyright and license headers requirement

[Jody Garnett]

We had a clarifications via OSGeo legal in August. I shared it with the
mailing list here and wrote a geotools blog post (which was the project
seeking clarification). GeoServer, and I expect other OSGeo project will
match this policy over time as is less work.

Do you have any questions?
