Hi,

> NOTICE contains copyright, commons-io [2]

It’s my understanding that for an ASF produced product with the name, copyright 
and “this software produced at the ASF” that nothing needs to be added to 
notice.

> NOTICE contains copyright and a few other declarations, log4j2 [3]

Drop the Apache one and add the rest. I don’t know the history but it looks 
like these are from copyright statements that have been relocated from the 
original source headers. Note [1] has standard ASF header and these 
instructions [2].

> NOTICE contains LOTS of stuff, lucene [4]

Which looks wrong to me as it contains un-required Apache, MIT and BSD 
software. It looks like most (if not all) of that should be in LICENSE not 
NOTICE. Given lucene has been about for a long time there are probably 
historical reasons for this. The policy of what goes in notice / license has 
changed over time.

Thanks,
Justin
