commit 25d43c5063e13c41d95e542c5fe6b95db556931c Author: Dianjin Wang <[email protected]> AuthorDate: Tue Sep 15 12:12:41 2026 +0800 Remove license pointer text from NOTICE Justin Mclean noted during the 2.2.0-rc1 IPMC vote that the NOTICE files of the cloudberry-backup and cloudberry-go-libs components carry Apache license boilerplate, and that NOTICE is reserved for notifications that are legally required. He did not review this repository, but the same issue is here in a milder form. The text came from upstream: github.com/greenplum-db/pxf-archive ships a NOTICE whose body is the VMware attribution followed by two paragraphs pointing at the license, and both were copied in when the code was donated. Section 4(d) of the Apache License asks for "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". The two paragraphs removed here: This product is licensed to you under the Apache 2.0 license (the "License"). You may not use this product except in compliance with the Apache 2.0 License.

The first restates the license, which LICENSE already conveys; the second points at LICENSE for subcomponent terms, which is where a reader would look anyway. The Apache HAWQ and VMware attributions are untouched.
