[Math] NOTICE file

Hello,

I am ready to submit code patches for a few tickets.  I will email the patches to JIRA.  They include unit tests.  Do I just email the NOTICE file also, or do I have to include it in the patch file somehow?

Thanks,
Jared

That does not require any special notice.  It is allowed by the
Apache License.

No it does not. The ASF does NOT require copyright assignment from contributors. Contributors always retain the copyright on their contributions.

Note that the copyright in the collective work is owned by the ASF.

The NOTICE file only needs to be updated if the code being contributed is done so under a license that requires a notice.

Contributions are under the ALv2 by default and do not require such a notice.

My employer requires that we retain copyright.  The code will also be released in other packages at some point.  If neither of those requires that I modify the NOTICE file, then I won't bother.

In general, there is no need to update the NOTICE file when patches
are contributed.  This is only used for contributions that have been
previously released in other forms / under other licenses or when
there are other specific reasons requiring that we provide a NOTICE
to users of our software.  Why exactly do you think this is
necessary for the patches you are contributing?

That may have been a dumb question.  I was thinking there were multiple NOTICE files, but apparently there is only one.  I guess it can be part of the patch unless I hear otherwise from someone on the list.

Hello,

I am ready to submit code patches for a few tickets.  I will email the patches to JIRA.  They include unit tests.  Do I just email the NOTICE file also, or do I have to include it in the patch file somehow?

Thanks,
Jared
