So here is what I propose to do.

Add this after the Apache license text in the license file:

----------------
The previous Apache license applies to the code specifically
developed for Apache Commons Math by the committers, and to some
code developed by third parties that was licensed to the Apache
Software Foundation through Software Grants, or was already distributed
under the terms of the Apache V2 license. This includes:

 - The inverse error function implementation in the Erf class is based
on CUDA
   code developed by Mike Giles, Oxford-Man Institute of Quantitative
Finance,
   and published in GPU Computing Gems, volume 2, 2010 (grant received on
   March 23th 2013)
 - The LinearConstraint, LinearObjectiveFunction, LinearOptimizer,
   RelationShip, SimplexSolver and SimplexTableau classes in package
   org.apache.commons.math3.optimization.linear include software
developed by
   Benjamin McCann (http://www.benmccann.com) and distributed with
   the following copyright: Copyright 2009 Google Inc. (grant received on
   March 16th 2009)
 - The class
"org.apache.commons.math3.exception.util.LocalizedFormatsTest" which
   is an adapted version of "OrekitMessagesTest" test class for the
Orekit library
 - The "org.apache.commons.math3.analysis.interpolation.HermiteInterpolator"
   has been imported from the Orekit space flight dynamics library.
---------------

Remove the attributions for Mike Giles and Ben McCann from NOTICE, as
they would now be in the above text in LICENSE.

Let only the Orekit very simple lines in NOTICE:

------------
This product includes software developed for Orekit by
CS Systèmes d'Information (http://www.c-s.fr/)
Copyright 2010-2012 CS Systèmes d'Information
------------

Would this solve the issues for you?
