> Why 2018? When was the first release of  Apache Dubbo-Hessian-Lite?


To make this clear, we need to have a brief review of Dubbo-Hessian-Lite’s 
history.

Dubbo-Hessian-Lite was originally existed as a module of the core Dubbo 
project[1], the source code has been releasing with Dubbo since from 2.5.3 - 
2.6.2, among all those versions, 2.6.2[2][3] were released after Dubbo joined 
the Apache Incubator.
Start from 2.6.3, Hessian-Lite was extracted from the source repo and moved to 
a separate Dubbo Ecosystem[4], a separate group with most projects finally 
transferred to Apache (including Hessian-Lite’s transfer at about May 2019). 
While in the Dubbo Ecosystem, we released Hessian-Lite one or two times without 
going through the official Apache process. I believe this is the first release 
after transferred into Apache as a separate sub-project/artifact.

To conclude, Hessian-Lite has gone through three phases:
1. Was released along with Apache Dubbo(Incubating) 2.6.2[3]
2. Was released in Dubbo Ecosystem as a separate third-part project.
2. Now transferred in Apache[5] and is going to be released as an separate 
artifact belong to Apache Dubbo.

So I am not sure the NOTICE should be (considering 2.6.2):
> Copyright 2018-2020 The Apache Software Foundation

Or it should be (this is it’s first release after donated to Apache as a 
separate artifact):
> Copyright 2020-2020 The Apache Software Foundation
