Review Comment:
   Thanks for clarifying how to assemble the `NOTICE.txt` and `LICENSE.txt` 
files, @kou. 
   
   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. For details, see deps/superwidget/.
   ```
