Neal Richardson commented on ARROW-6151:
----------------------------------------
Me too. This was discussed here:
[https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/4908#discussion_r306586276]
I first proposed a shim NOTICE file in the R package that contained a link to
the official NOTICE. That would keep a single source of truth for the NOTICE
and still satisfy the CRAN request. When you requested the full NOTICE be
included, I copied it there, and then added to the {{r/Makefile}}
[https://github.com/apache/arrow/blob/master/r/Makefile#L33], which copies the
NOTICE file every time {{make build}} is run, which happens when checking
locally. Given the constraints, this seemed like the best option that would
ensure that the full NOTICE file is included in the R package without requiring
on human discipline to manually copy it in every time, while also providing a
mechanism by which it gets synced with the official version.
