. This feels a little dangerous, I doubt most of our internal projects are actually Apache licensed projects, and it feels a little too easy to forget to remove this license.

I would have thought that we would probably default to an all rights reserved license, allowing any project maintainer to easily amend to a more permissive license. (IANAL), but I would imagine that once a piece of source code is issued with a permissive license, then that license would be applied forever (it's not possible to remove the permissions granted by that license).

I'm all for open software, but it should be a conscious choice by the owner/maintainer of the software in question.
