   I am not an expert on licensing and I am not a lawyer.
   
   I've seen what the Incubator mentors and PMC members say about other instances in our code base and in other Incubator projects but when I try to apply what I think is the reasoning to scenarios, I frequently get it wrong.
   
   With the NOTICE file, we have https://infra.apache.org/licensing-howto.html#mod-notice - that we should only modify the standard Apache NOTICE when we have to. It's worth reading that full doc (not just the mod-notice paragraph).
   
   There is this: `If the dependency supplies a NOTICE file, its contents must be analyzed and the relevant portions bubbled up into the top-level NOTICE file.` but I could not find HPACK's NOTICE file - if there is one that I've missed - we need to abide by it in our NOTICE.
   
   With the LICENSE file. we do have the leeway to mention code that is not ours and what the license for that code is. See the incubator-pekko repo LICENSE and the unmerged https://github.com/apache/incubator-pekko/pull/159. https://infra.apache.org/licensing-howto.html#alv2-dep says that we do not normally need to list Apache licensed code in our LICENSE.
