Ok, thanks a lot for the clarification.
The CopyWriter.java file is part of the Apache Baremaps project and does not
require a mention in the LICENSE and NOTICE file.
The ./baremaps-flatgeobuf/src/main/fbs/header.fbs and
./baremaps-flatgeobuf/src/main/fbs/features.fbs files are actually mentioned in
the following line extracted from the third party licenses section of the
LICENSE file:
- FlatGeobuf, BSD-2-Clause license
According to the documentation [1], what’s currently missing in our LICENSE
file are pointers (“For details, see deps/flatgeobuf”). I suggest to modify the
third party section as follow, so we have pointers for everything.
THIRD PARTY LICENSES:

Yes, except for the missing pointers and honest mistakes, I believe that most
information is currently in our LICENSE file.
The reason for the notice file is that we never “bundled” a whole project into
baremaps. Instead, we derived and adapted a couple of files from third party
projects and included them in our sources. This is the reason why we found
useful to tell more about it in the NOTICE file. The notices are mainly here to
track these files more easily in the repo and to address possible questions
(e.g. OSMPBF header files been relicensed to MIT but it is not obvious in the
OSM-binary repository).
I can remove all these notices if they are not needed.

So I guess the pointers listed above should be sufficient.
For now, I performed the following actions:
- Removed the problematic files:
https://github.com/apache/incubator-baremaps/commit/2e0f5c053857aa7fb20daf485dc4a06c3fa57be2
- Updated the README and NOTICE files:
https://github.com/apache/incubator-baremaps/commit/eb4e12fd29713d9494eb3d64a030be7972a99735
Please, let me know if these changes are sufficient to drop a new release
candidate.
Thanks a lot for you help and best regards,
Bertil
