Hi,

Here what I worked out needs to be added to LICENSE and NOTICE for each type of 
bundled license.

Bundled Code license    LICENSE         NOTICE
Apache 1.1                      Y                       Y               Not 
sure what need to be added to NOTICE here

How to obtain a copy of source code
GPL                                     -                       -
LGPL                            -                       -

N = do nothing
Y = required to add 
* In binary form only
- Not allowed in Apache software

Does anyone know what goes in NOTICE for Apache 1.1 licensed software?

For Apache licensed software if required usually means 3rd party required 
notices or relocated copyrights that exist the NOTICE file.

Oddly the BSD with advertising clause is not listed in the Category A, B or X 
lists so while it seems to have been discussed (at length) it may not actually 
be able to be bundled.

Only case where there seem to be differing of opinions seems to be for bundling 
an ASF Apache license. Should the project name and copyright be placed in 
NOTICE? As far as I can tell the Apache License [1][2] doesn’t contain a 
requirement for a required 3rd party notice. But this [3] may mean than name 
and/or copyright needs to be added to NOTICE.  If this is the case it would 
have a large impact on existing (particularly binary) releases. Has there been 
a discussion on this, that I may of missed, somewhere that would clarify?

Assembled from here:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LEGAL-59
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LEGAL-62
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LEGAL-185

(and probably a few other places)

Thanks,
Justin
