I'm glad to provide education. See http://www.apache.org/dev/licensing-howto.html#mod-notice This short section starts with "NOTICE is reserved for a certain subset of legally required notifications", and ends with "Do not add anything to NOTICE which is not legally required.". I believe that this section is clear, but if you have any questions on the content of this page, I'd encourage you to bring them up on legal-disc...@apache.org. > Thanks, > -Alex - Sam Ruby > On 4/19/19, 6:15 AM, "Sam Ruby" <ru...@intertwingly.net> wrote: > > On Fri, Apr 19, 2019 at 8:03 AM Jim Jagielski <j...@jagunet.com> wrote: > > > > > On Apr 19, 2019, at 1:06 AM, Alex Harui <aha...@adobe.com.INVALID > <mailto:aha...@adobe.com.INVALID>> wrote: > > > > > > Lots of NOTICE files give attribution to the pre-Apache project > owner.
