Comparing the contents of 3.0.0 to 3.1.0, it seems that prettify is in one of
the directories that happened to be stripped
(cordova-docs/template/docs/default/prettify).  Since those bits aren't
bundled, there's no need to mention anything in LICENSE/NOTICE.

So there's no problem here that would affect the 3.1.0 release.

Actually, looking at google-code-prettify's licensing, both the bundled
version and the current upstream, they don't include a NOTICE file -- so
mentioning them in cordova-docs/NOTICE is actually a minor licensing
documentation bug.  (NOTICE should only include stuff that's absolutely
necessary, so that it's easier for downstream users to consume.)  I'd suggest
applying the patch below to cordova-docs.

Cheers,

Marvin Humphrey

Thanks for the clarification, Marvin.

I've created https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-6113 to track this
for the next release.
