             Summary: Document When Copyright Notice Is Appropriate 
                 Key: WHISKER-7
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WHISKER-7
             Project: Apache Whisker
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Robert Burrell Donkin
            Assignee: Robert Burrell Donkin


copyright-notice is intended to help licenses such as the MIT License where a 
copyright claim is conventionally included right at the top of the license 
text. 

Other licences (such as Apache License, Version 2) are slient on copyright 
claims or use a NOTICE to contain collective copyright claims. For primary 
licenses of this sort, to ensure that the copyright claims end up in the NOTICE 
(where they belong) these claims need to be included in the notice sections.

This wasn't very well explain and is confusing. Documentation needs to be 
improved.
