matthiasblaesing opened a new pull request #559: Optimize readability of the NOTICE file
URL: https://github.com/apache/incubator-netbeans/pull/559
 
 
   While looking into NETBEANS-827 it was found, that the NOTICE file is
   difficult to read, as no clear sections were visible.
   
   This adjust the output as such, that:
   
   - the primary header is separated from the following entries by
     two empty lines
   - all imported entries are normalized, so that multiple empty lines
     are collapsed into one empty line
   - all imported entries are separated from each other by two empty
     lines
   
   To illustrate here are the pre- and post picture:
   
   [notice-pre.txt](https://github.com/apache/incubator-netbeans/files/2040691/notice-pre.txt)
   [notice-post.txt](https://github.com/apache/incubator-netbeans/files/2040690/notice-post.txt)
   
   I tried to see what NETBEANS-827 is about and at first I did not even find the entry. The corresponding entry is:
   
   > Apache Commons Net
   > Copyright 2001-2017 The Apache Software Foundation
   
   From my interpretation of the legal FAQ this is the correct form, but in the "pre" version is difficult to find.
