[Incubator] The Open Data Cube as a OSGeo Community Project

[Jody Garnett]

Thanks for the progress Alex, I have not had much capacity for incubation
list in April :)

As for headers try for the basics: 1) project name 2) that it is open source

But really the license you are using should tell you what to do for
headers, does it have examples of how to apply it to code?

Really we want you to check that you wrote the code, or that everyone who
wrote the code did so knowing it was going to be distributed as open source.

You use Apache License 2.0, that foundation has some guidance here:
https://www.apache.org/legal/src-headers.html

Since you are not actually distributed by the Apache Foundation you will
need to work on that example to reflect the organization that is
distributing the code. Have a look around at what other projects have done.
