Thanks for the reply Jeremy, that was my instinct too. I'll keep my -2 on the review in question, but I'll wait for legal to chime in before asking the author to abandon the patch.

If there is a license to that file, then it's almost certainly a BSD license (derived from Sphinx's quickstart.py):
https://github.com/sphinx-doc/sphinx/blob/master/sphinx/quickstart.py
I'm not a lawyer, but I'm not keen on adding licenses to autogenerated (e.g. non-source) files where the original authors of the generator didn't design it to emit a license in its output to begin with. I would argue that the copy in our cookiecutter repo, as a derivative of the sphinx-quickstart output, should probably never have started out with an Apache license header in the first place (I wonder whether it was added to satisfy "Python scripts without a declared license" checks in one of our static analyzers?). -- Jeremy Stanley
