Hi Dave, I don’t think the current debate is about whether Public Domain
content can be in the repository, it is how we give attribution.  My
current thinking is that we keep the Apache Headers in the source file [1]
and give attribution in a NOTICE.test file that would get merged with the
main NOTICE file if we ever release these tests.  My understanding of
Justin’s position is that he wants to remove the Apache header and replace
it with a header that calls out that most of the content came from the
public domain such as:

"Content taken form Alice in Wonderland, by Lewis Carroll. Now in the
public domain."


Do you have an answer or opinion?

Thanks,
-Alex
