Sebb or some other license/notice expert can chime in here; but I
suspect this is either not necessary or misplaced. We were asked to
rip out a lot of stuff like this from [math] NOTICE based on the
argument that only legally required things should be in there. If
this is a legal requirement, the MIT license asks that you include
the license, which should (IIUC) go in LICENSE, not NOTICE. Given
that this is a port and not inclusion, though; I am not sure it is
needed.

Thank you for clarifying. I will remove the entry from NOTICE.txt when I do
my next development cycle for [text]. I'll make sure the original author is
attributed either in the contributors section of pom.xml or in the JavaDoc.

I am not an expert in this, but I have read the docs [1] many times.
I agree with Phil that it does not seem necessary to update NOTICE in this case.
