[compress] Code history in NOTICE

Hi,

The commons-compress NOTICE file currently contains the following entries:

    Original BZip2 classes contributed by Keiron Liddle
    <ke...@aftexsw.com>, Aftex Software to the Apache Ant project

    Original Tar classes from contributors of the Apache Ant project

    Original Zip classes from contributors of the Apache Ant project

    Original CPIO classes contributed by Markus Kuss and the jRPM project
    (jrpm.sourceforge.net)

Since these are included in the NOTICE file, section 4.d of ALv2
requires that all downstream projects include a readable copy of that
information. Is this something that we need to require, i.e. was this
a requirement of the original contributions? If not, I'd rather move
these notes to the README file.

BR,

Jukka Zitting

This is true for CPIO.

+1 - one should not credit individual Apache projects.
The file should be as short as possible, and it always mentions Apache anyway.

No explicit requirement from Keiron or his employer, something we did
in Ant as a courtesy.  There is no reason to keep the Ant references
IMHO.

I haven't been following the CPIO contribution close enough to know.
