Not speaking on behalf of OSGeo, but I'd suggest using the the one-line variant offered by 
the SPDX initiative, which is adopted by the Linux Kernel project among others, and has the 
advantage of conveying explicit non-ambiguous licensing in a short way, and to be easily 
analyzed by automated tools (compliance checking). Just put the following at the beginning 
of files (way of commenting to be adopted with the one offered by the programming 
language)

// SPDX-License-Identifier: Apache-2.0
