...reading the issue Bertrand references it is not clear. From my point
of view the overall issue to decide is:
1. Two-file approach, one for legal requirements and one for "courtesy".
2. One-file approach for both.
I prefer (2) if this is possible....
See also http://markmail.org/message/cxwtnuys65c7hs2y - we had a
similar discussion in Sling a while ago, and the way I read it Roy
clearly states that 1) is the way to go - NOTICE should only be used
for *required* attribution notices.
http://www.apache.org/legal/src-headers.html#notice also says "the
remainder of the NOTICE file is to be used for *required* third-party
notices" (my emphasis).
Again, if that is the case that we are required to do it that way, then
we can end the discussion. However, it is not clear what the additional
burden it places other than to carry around a longer NOTICE file.
Oh well. Hoops. Jump.
I guess we all better start investigating which of our dependencies have
legal requirements.
So, Felix, since you appear to be the expert here :-), perhaps you can
help us take the next steps down this road.
