About reference from public article and sample code
Hi,
We have developed one module (not release yet) based on a public
article and it's sample code (just as beginning), also have sent mail and
confirmed by author to use that in anyway, would such case should go
through an IP clearance here, or just need to add some disclosure in
license file, or somewhere?
Thanks.
Best Regards!

Thanks Mark,
Credit must be there, already communicated with author about this,
it will be included in the release news, thanks section of public pages,
and commit message looks also great idea.
Thanks
Best Regards!

It sounds like the sample code meets the definition of contribution in
the ALv2 and that the author is happy for the project to use it. On that
basis, from a purely legal perspective, you have nothing to do. There is
no need to add anything to either LICENSE or NOTICE.
