NOTICE files in particular must be examined to see if they contain attributions that apply to the bits you are bundling. In which case the attributions must be carried forward into the new NOTICE file This is all described here: http://www.apache.org/dev/licensing-howto.html#alv2-dep (et seq.) > c) Instead, we append to our LICENSE file the following for each module > that we bundle (including transitive dependencies): > i) the copyright information for the module > ii) a link to the license text LICENSE and NOTICE are not alternates. LICENSE files have to contain licenses/pointers for ALL bundled bits.
