--------------------------------------

Hi [~jmclean] ,

I don't know if you will get pinged by this comment, but I'd greatly appreciate your input on my proposed fix: [https://github.com/apache/kafka/pull/10452]

I'm not a lawyer, but I've been reading over the ASF documentation. This seems to be in a weird grey area. If we were re-distributing source code, we should clearly maintain any copyright notices. But this code was actually submitted to Kafka by Lightbend under the terms of our CLA, so it seems like it should never have had that copyright notice to begin with. Since then, numerous non-Lightbend contributors have submitted changes to those files; I'm not sure how much of the original code is still present.

It seems wrong to simply drop the notices, though, so I added a mention of it in the NOTICE file.

Do you think this is the right approach?

Thanks for your help.

-John
