Hi,

> I used NOTICE file of Hadoop/Spark project as a reference.

You should be careful following other TLPs as examples and follow the 
instructions here. [1] If you want some good example that the HTTP project or 
TomCat are I believe good ones to follow. That or perhaps more recently 
graduated projects.

It may be due to historical reason or they may have included issues due to 
malformed upstream projects NOTICE files. Which looks to be the case here for 
Hadoop with the license information being in the NOTICE file, not so sure with 
Spark. IMO they could do with some improvement but that’s up the PMC of those 
projects to do that.

That a good idea. You might want to get your mentors to double check the 
release as well. Did any on them vote on this release candidate? (From a quick 
look I couldn’t see any mentor votes.)

Thanks,
Justin
