Because the new license is designed so that anyone can use it "as is" for their
own projects as well. The license requires every package that uses it
(including ones created by ASF) to include an attribution, and the NOTICE.txt
file does that.

I did read it, but where's the sense? It doesn't make any (to me and
IANAL) for ASF code...

Check this page:
http://www.apache.org/dev/apply-license.html
In the section "Applying the license to new software", it specifies that
exactly this text is required in the NOTICE file for Apache software.

Because the new 2.0 license explicitly avoids mentioning which party is
granting the license. It's a totally generic open-source license, usable
by any project without changing a single word. The "apache" references
within the license just mean that the license was written by the Apache
legal team, and implies nothing about the license *being issued*.
Instead, the wording of the license refers to an associated "Notice"
file for details of who exactly the license is being issued by, and who
needs to be given credit, etc.
At least that's my understanding. IANAL and all that.
The apache licensing web pages are very explicit about a NOTICE file
having to be included with exactly the wording of Yoav's commit.

Simon

I'm not sure that for ASF software this makes any sense.
Of course our software includes software developed by us.
Can someone please explain why this is needed?
