I'm a little confused here. For the initial code drop you should have a signed CLA from the original company that assigns copyright to ASF. Is that not the case? Is there code that was imported improperly?
NOTICE file is for giving notice that the software contains licensed software from elsewhere. In this case you can use the specified code intact. Just add RAT rules to skip that. For example in Apache Shindig we had a copy of phpunit and Zend in our source tree that had compatible licenses, we put the appropriate NOTICE and rat rules in place. Please do consult with legal-discuss to figure out the right way to move forward with this.
