John Roesler commented on KAFKA-12593:
--------------------------------------

Hi [~jmclean] ,

I don't know if you will get pinged by this comment, but I'd greatly appreciate 
your input on my proposed fix: [https://github.com/apache/kafka/pull/10452]

I'm not a lawyer, but I've been reading over the ASF documentation. This seems 
to be in a weird grey area. If we were re-distributing source code, we should 
clearly maintain any copyright notices. But this code was actually submitted to 
Kafka by Lightbend under the terms of our CLA, so it seems like it should never 
have had that copyright notice to begin with. Since then, numerous 
non-Lightbend contributors have submitted changes to those files; I'm not sure 
how much of the original code is still present.

It seems wrong to simply drop the notices, though, so I added a mention of it 
in the NOTICE file.

Do you think this is the right approach?

Thanks for your help.

-John
