Mike,
It seems from what I am reading that you can add the NOSA copyright at
the end of the NOTICE file. At least this section needs to be in the
NOTICE file:
Copyright © 2012-2013 United States Government as represented by the
Administrator of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. All
Other Rights Reserved
You can delete the Header section from the source files and put the ASF
copyright instead. As long as the copyright is in the NOTICE file, we
should be fine.
They also want a changelog file showing that it is a modification from
the Original software. maybe in the CHANGES.txt file we could say:
** New Feature
* [CLIMATE-!!!] - Adding obs4MIPs 1.0 from NASA
Does this make sense?

Hi Denis,
I was perusing the ASF docs on source headers [1] and it seems like they
want us to move Copyright notifications out of the source code headers and
into the NOTICE file. What does everyone think about this? I'm not very
familiar with this process so hopefully someone more versed in this stuff
can comment.
I'll take care of updating the licenses and dropping the setup file.

Hi Joyce,
I wanted to deleted that setup.sh and did not have time to do it. As for
the copyright, I've read the lawyer document and it seems that section B, C
and D applies here, in "OBLICATIONS OF RECIPIENT" section. So we can
delete the license up to the copyright section. I followed GEOS5.org
opensource software for the copyright...
B. Each Recipient must ensure that the following copyright notice appears
prominently in the Subject Software:
Copyright © 2012-2013 United States Government as represented by the
Administrator of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. All
Other Rights Reserved
C. Each Contributor must characterize its alteration of the Subject
Software as a Modification and must identify itself as the originator of
its Modification in a manner that reasonably allows subsequent Recipients
to identify the originator of the Modification. In fulfillment of these
requirements, Contributor must include a file (e.g., a change log file)
that describes the alterations made and the date of the alterations,
identifies Contributor as originator of the alterations, and consents to
characterization of the alterations as a Modification, for example, by
including a statement that the Modification is derived, directly or
indirectly, from Original Software provided by Government Agency. Once
consent is granted, it may not thereafter be revoked.
D. A Contributor may add its own copyright notice to the Subject Software.
Once a copyright notice has been added to the Subject Software, a Recipient
may not remove it without the express permission of the Contributor who
added the notice.

Hi all,
I was going to go through the obs4MIPs code to add any necessary headers
but first I wanted to make sure we were all on the same page. Are we
replacing all the NOSA headers with ASF headers or are we just adding
headers to any files that aren't currently licensed?
Also, I wanted to confirm that we could drop [1]. It seems to be machine
dependent but I wasn't sure if we were keeping it in there as an example
(in which case we should make it machine agnostic as well =)
Cheers!
