Thank you very much for the details, Andy. I'm doing my best to come up to speed on all this.
A question: In looking at the LICENSE files, and the Apache documentation ( http://www.apache.org/legal/src-headers.html#notice), I'm wondering about the Taverna Language License, which contains several copyright notices. The documentation I referenced says: "Use the NOTICE file to collect copyright notices and required attributions." Am I misinterpreting this? Should these copyright notices be in the NOTICE file? (Profuse apologies if this was already discussed when I was less up-to-speed.)
