And this is why it is so complicated. See [1] (apologies that s.a.o is down so I can’t provide a shortened link). It appears to be the opposite recommendation. It is the last comment from Henri in [2]. And we will try to track this as a JIRA issue, but historically, we often learn more about the rules around LICENSE and NOTICE so when the issue comes up again we think there should be a different answer. Anyway, at this point, my recommendation is: if we are going to be changing other text because that other text wasn’t permissively licensed, then we should replace all text, but otherwise or maybe in the interim, let’s put something in LICENSE and/or NOTICE.
