The Parquet commit is here: https://github.com/apache/parquet-mr/commit/ddbeb4dd17d9c219b99b1e66d8be28efe37e3aa6
And the Cloudera submission is here: https://github.com/apache/parquet-mr/commit/aed223d9699fcae74470d9c8adb85ce4af773d3a
Iceberg did copy the Cloudera-authored content, along with the portions of the NOTICE file.
Thanks, Henri!

> Project: Legal Discuss
> Issue Type: Question
> Reporter: Ryan Blue
> Priority: Major

> I submitted a PR to Parquet that included some files from an ALv2 project owned by Cloudera and some files owned by Netflix. To include the code, we followed the [headers policy|http://www.apache.org/legal/src-headers.html#headers], which states:
> {quote}If the source file is submitted with a copyright notice included in it, the copyright owner (or owner's agent) must either:
> # remove such notices, or
> # move them to the NOTICE file associated with each applicable project release, or
> # provide written permission for the ASF to make such removal or relocation of the notices.{quote}
> We worked with someone from Cloudera, who authored the relocation of the file's copyright header to the NOTICE file and is a co-author of [the commit|https://github.com/apache/parquet-mr/commit/ddbeb4dd17d9c219b99b1e66d8be28efe37e3aa6]. I did the same for Netflix.
> At the time, we copied the existing header entirely into NOTICE, including its license notice, "Licensed under the Apache License, Version 2.0 (the "License"); . . ."
> An IPMC member is now asking Apache Iceberg (which copied both the file and the notice) to edit the original header and include only the Cloudera-specific portion.
> *Should a project modify a license header that was moved to the NOTICE by the owner or owner's agent?* What is the best practice in this situation?
