I have just committed my changes, feel free to review >those. I did look. My understanding of the rules is that some licenses tell the author to add their copyright to the license text, and in those cases, I think we’re not supposed to modify the license text to separate out the copyrights into the NOTICE file. Instead, just use a pointer in LICENSE (i.e., tell folks where to find the third-party license file) which is how I’d told the FlatSpark folks to do it, or copy the whole third-party license with the copyrights into LICENSE which is sort of what happened in Squiggly. It is the Apache policy that has us move copyrights for donated code to NOTICE. And in the case where the license requires attribution but no attribution is in the LICENSE like the CameronMusic sound, we mentioned the creator in the NOTICE. -Alex
