It is just a general NOTICE:

Which doesn't say if the "Day Software" bit applies to JcrUtils or not.

For VFS 2.1 we have assumed it does NOT apply, due to the SVN history
dating it 3 years after import of the Day Software code, but that is
an interpretation I would leave open for Jackrabbit PMC to correct us
in case we are wrong. The ASF license allow us to make that kind of
interpretation, as we have used the SVN history for figuring out
"excluding those notices that do not pertain to any part of the
Derivative Works".
