Justin Mclean updated QUARKS-135:
---------------------------------
    Summary: Base NOTICE file could be simpler  (was: Base NOTICE file couple be simpler)

> Base NOTICE file could be simpler
> ---------------------------------
>
>                 Key: QUARKS-135
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/QUARKS-135
>             Project: Quarks
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>            Reporter: Justin Mclean
>
> I think the current NOTICE file could be reduced to this:
> Apache Quarks (incubating)
> Copyright 2016 The Apache Software Foundation
> This product includes software developed at
> The Apache Software Foundation (http://www.apache.org/).
> Portions of this software were developed at
> International Business Machines Corporation, copyright 2015 and 2016.
> IMO there's no need to list copying headers from the initial software grant. Only relocated headers that have been changed to Apache with the owners permission [1] need to be added to NOTICE. It's good to try and keep NOTICE as small as needed to make it easier for downstream projects [2]
> 1. http://www.apache.org/legal/src-headers.html#headers
> 2. http://www.apache.org/dev/licensing-howto.html#mod-notice
> It will still require additions due to bundling Apache licensed software containing NOTICE files.
