As I understand it, the conclusion is that we should be careful what goes in a NOTICE file since it is sortof viral. And since the W3C License does not specifically call out how attribute should be made (like the Apache v2 license), it is not required to be put in the NOTICE file. The same content is already in the LICENSE file which is sufficient for attribution, so this should be removed. Same with the content in daffodil-cli/NOTICE. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
