Hi,

That correct but attribution IS legally required. Any license that requires 
attribution needs to be added to NOTICE. I checked with a member here at 
ApacheCon and they confirmed that is the case.

I did point it out ages ago and asked if anyone had any objections - there were 
none. This content was actually in the previous release so it's not new and it 
has already been voted on and released. Most of the content on wikipedia was 
actually written by me (but not that that probably matters).

I probably won't have time to do that until after ApacheCon and I'm back in 
Australia. I'd suggest we release what we have now. As it already has been 
released so if it is in error we've already done that. Lets fix and rerelease 
if and when we have a clearer understanding on what should be done.

As I said worse case is we have something extra in NOTICE and that is not a 
licensing error. There are many Apache project that has too much in NOTICE (ie 
MIT and BSD). Having something missing from NOTICE however is a licensing 
error. Also there are zero projects that depend on Tour De Flex having the 
extra content in NOTICE has zero effect even if it is not required.

Thanks,
Justin
