LICENSE is for licenses. If notice is >required, then use NOTICE. Hmm. It feels like maybe folks aren't actually reading the first link I provided [1]. In it, sebb approves a patch to the how-to [2]. The how-to currently recommends not placing 3rd party licenses in the LICENSE file and instead using a template like: This product bundles SuperWidget 1.2.3, which is available under a "3-clause BSD" license. For details, see deps/superwidget/. In [1], the proposed patch is to use a similar template for non-ASF ALv2 bundles. The text being added is, AIUI, not stuff we are supposed to put in NOTICE. Justin is technically correct that [2] does not clearly state to list non-ASF ALv2 bundles using the template but it would if the patch had been applied. The patch would create a section that reads: "Assuming once again that that the bundled dependency itself contains no bundled subcomponents under other licenses and thus the ALv2 applies uniformly to all files, there is no need to add another copy of the ALv2 license, but if the dependency is third-party, the LICENSE file should include: 'Includes Foo V1.2 under the Apache License 2.0'" I've been hoping someone braver than me would apply the patch, but now it appears that Marvin is going to refresh the whole document, so maybe it will finally get settled when his revision comes up for review.
