Justin, thanks for your quick review -- you're awesome, man!

Still I have a few questions/comments ;-)

I think this section of NOTICE is simply not worded well enough.
It is a good ol' Jersey after all: https://jersey.java.net/license.html

Better yet, I think we actually got rid of it so we can strike that part
of NOTICE.

Not it doesn't. It dynamically links against Crypto software, but as you can see
this is a source release only. A similar issue of the dynamic linking
against crypto/GPL
libraries came up during incubation and was addressed:

Great!

The easiest way to build is via a docker container:

Well, this is where I get to be an old fart and insist that
a position of LICENSE only containing ALv2 is actually
legally defensible and something that I've been advocating.

That said, a few recent threads (and especially a Marvin's
thoughtful response) convinced me that instead of endlessly
arguing about it I may as well go with the flow -- so yeah,
lets just move some parts of NOTICE to LICENSE.

MIT/BSD -- see above. I actually really don't like them in LICENSE,
but like I said -- lets not argue about that.

Apache License  -- no sure what you mean here -- I think we're simply
bubbling up the dependencies NOTICEs. Why is that wrong?

See bellow. I think we're bundling bits and pieces of it. But I'll
re-review since there could be entries that snuck into this
NOTICE from the binary NOTICE.

I think those are locations in the original. IIRC, the code
ended up in a few different places in HAWQ when it was
leveraged. It wasn't quite cut-n-paste, but it wasn't
code encapsulation either. Not sure what do you want
us to do to handle that case.

Thanks,
Roman.
