HI, > The ASF recommendation also clearly states: "Under normal circumstances, > there is no need to modify NOTICE to mention a bundled dependency."
If you read that document carefully, it states this: - Under normal circumstances, there is no need to modify NOTICE to mention a bundled dependency. - If the dependency supplies a NOTICE file, its contents must be analyzed and the relevant portions bubbled up into the top-level NOTICE file. These two things are not at odds with each other. In this case, you have included ALv2 source code that contains a NOTICE file, so its content needs to be added to your notice file. The normal circumstances mentioned above apply if you are bundling something under MIT or a BSD license or if the bundled Apache-licensed software that doesn’t have a NOTICE file. Kind Regards, Justin
