Remove license text from NOTICE
Justin Mclean noted during the 2.2.0-rc1 IPMC vote that this NOTICE
carries the full Apache-2.0 boilerplate, and that NOTICE is reserved for
notifications that are legally required.
The text came from upstream: github.com/greenplum-db/gp-common-go-libs
ships a NOTICE whose
body is the VMware attribution followed by the Apache-2.0 grant
boilerplate, and the whole file was copied in when the code was donated.
Copying all of it is more than section 4(d) of the Apache License asks
for. It requires "the attribution notices contained within such NOTICE
file", not the file itself, and infra.apache.org/licensing-howto.html is
explicit that a bundled dependency's NOTICE "must be analyzed and the
relevant portions bubbled up", and that one should "keep NOTICE as brief
and simple as possible" and "not add anything to NOTICE which is not
legally required".
So keep the part that is an attribution notice:

and drop the license grant, which is not one. The Apache-2.0 terms
continue to reach users through LICENSE and the source file headers,
which is where they belong.
