For reference - we based our original changes off the fact that other third party libraries that are bundled and dynamically linked against in certain binary distributions are noted in the `LICENSE.txt`. For example: ``` 3rdparty dependency zlib is redistributed as a dynamically linked shared library in certain binary distributions, like the python wheels. ... ``` Also, we noted the following instructions in https://infra.apache.org/licensing-howto.html#permissive-deps: ``` Bundling a dependency which is issued under one of the following licenses is straightforward, assuming that license applies uniformly to all files within the dependency: BSD (without advertising clause) MIT/X11 In LICENSE, add a [pointer](http://s.apache.org/Hqj) to the dependency's license within the distribution and a short note summarizing its licensing: This product bundles SuperWidget 1.2.3, which is available under a "3-clause BSD" license.
