I've had a look, the only issue i see is I don't think the NOTICE file

Thanks for the review and vote ant, much appreciated.
but i think you should do a complete review of whats in the NOTICE
file with your mentors and remove everything which doesn't need to be
there.
I'm curious what in your opinion doesn't need to be in the NOTICE file.
I might have missed some recent discussions on this topic here, but AFAIK
all those notices are required.
Or did the guidelines really change dramatically recently?
See this email [1] for an answer to a similar question, also there is
now a definition of required third party notices at [2].
In a nutshell, very few things actually require mention in the NOTICE
file, and best not to unless there is a reason to.
Thanks ant,
I've been going through my backlog of still unread general@ list messages since
end of November last night, which I didn't had time to look at before. So I did
find the long, very long, discussion(s) about it.
I can't say it is 100% clear yet and to me it seems like the 'rules' haven't
been 'formalized' or 'codified' properly yet.
To me [2] by itself doesn't explain it good enough at least.
But reading through the whole mail thread(s) does help.
At any way, I think I now understand the arguments *why* we should not have
unnecessary notices: "to keep the burden as low as possible for down stream (re)
distributers as they are required to retain our NOTICE file". Right?
For following releases of Apache Rave I'll re-evaluate our NOTICE file to check
if we actually have unnecessary (not asked for) notices which we can remove then.
Thanks for the heads-up,
Ate
