[jira] [Commented] (LEGAL-554) Moving (copyright) section out of LICENSE

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LEGAL-554?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17266419#comment-17266419 ] 

Justin Mclean commented on LEGAL-554:
-------------------------------------

For how to assemble LICENSE and NOTICE see [1] There is no need to mention the copyrights of dependancies in your NOTICE file. You only need to mention relocated copyright statements i.e. those that have been replaced with an ASF header. There is no need to mention dependancies in LICENSE either, in general only 3rd party code that has been included in a release needs to be mentioned.

It looks like you have done the correct thing with the Bloomberg  copyright, but there no need to include the apache license text.

I don't think your NOTICE file is correct with this line "Includes software from other Apache Software Foundation projects." Those project would have NOTICE files and you would need to include the relevant parts from them.

> The Apache Lucene project just accepted a grant and migrated the solr-operator repo here: 
> [https://github.com/apache/lucene-solr-operator] 
> We wanted to check the following as part of the migration process:
>  # Can we move the copyright text from the LICENSE file? It now already exists in 'NOTICE.txt' at the top level, which is something we did to standardize the file headers as discussed here: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LEGAL-553
>  # Do we need to list the copyrights for all dependencies in the NOTICE file? e.g. Docker.
