Hi Olivier NOTICE file is not supposed to include the copyright unless the License requires. As the MIT License already has the copyright statement, we don't need to specify it in the NOTCE file.
I just copy the Justin's comments from the lega issue discussion[1] , it can explain lots of thing. "While including all of NOTICE is the safest/simplest way. INAL but I also think removal of obvious things that have been documented that shouldn't be there is also safe. i.e. - Don't include ASF duplicate ASF copyright/this product developed at the ASF lines [1] - Remove anything that should be in LICENSE (that is already there) i.e. MIT and BSD license information [2] - Remove any copyright lines from MIT and BSD (but not ASL 2.0) permissive licenses, who headers are still in place in their respective files [3] - Only include parts if they are bundled in your release [4] Perhaps also politely ask / provide a patch to the upstream project to fix their NOTICE file? 1. http://www.apache.org/dev/licensing-howto.html#bundle-asf-product 2. http://www.apache.org/dev/licensing-howto.html#permissive-deps 3. http://www.apache.org/dev/licensing-howto.html#mod-notice 4. http://www.apache.org/dev/licensing-howto.html#guiding-principle"; [1]https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LEGAL-262 Willem Jiang Blog: http://willemjiang.blogspot.com (English) http://jnn.iteye.com (Chinese) Twitter: willemjiang Weibo: 姜宁willem On Sun, Apr 1, 2018 at 8:38 AM, Olivier Lamy <ol...@apache.org> wrote: > Hi > the content is simply. > " > > Apache Gobblin > > Copyright 2017-2018 The Apache Software Foundation > > > This product includes software developed at > > The Apache Software Foundation (http://www.apache.org/). > > > This product includes Bootstrap > > Copyright (c) 2011-2015 Twitter, Inc. > > > This product includes the Glyphicons Halflings icon set > > Copyright (c) Jan Kovařík (http://glyphicons.com) > > Licensed under The MIT License (MIT) as a part of the Bootstrap project. > > > This product includes normalize.css > > Copyright (c) Nicolas Gallagher and Jonathan Neal > " > Can you please explain what is the legal problem with such content? > TBH I can see so many similar content in a lot of TLP projects.
