    I am afraid the license here is a little bit more complex. I think the license is probably BSD, at least based on FindBugs:
    https://github.com/findbugsproject/findbugs/blob/master/findbugs/licenses/LICENSE-jsr305.txt
    
    (Its not clear where the Apache license note comes from, but it is probably not correct.)
    
    Also, the file contains some re-packaged annotations from net.jcip.annotations, so these are presumably under:
    https://github.com/findbugsproject/findbugs/blob/master/findbugs/licenses/LICENSE-jcip.txt
    
    So we probably need a license file with these both and maybe even a -notice.txt.
    
    The good thing on this particular place is that we only need this file for building.
    
    The license file should be present even if the license would be Apache.
    
    Otherwise, looks OK.
