Jan Høydahl updated SOLR-15929:
-------------------------------
    Description: 
Spinoff from SOLR-15862 and SOLR-2406:

We need a total cleanup of both these files
 * Move lots of (C) notices from NOTICE to LICENSE file
 * Cross-check that we list all dependencies, and that removed deps (such as 
for DIH etc) are removed from NOTICE/LICENSE

I wonder if 
[https://github.com/apache/solr/blob/main/solr/licenses/README.committers.txt] 
should also be relocated to either `dev-docs/` or `help/` to make it easier to 
find. It is hard to get the license/notice stuff right, so we need a good guide 
for committers!

See [https://infra.apache.org/licensing-howto.html] for the requirements. PS: 
Any preference whether we should rename the files without {{.txt}} suffix?

Also, our source and binary distributions are quite different, and would 
ideally have different LICENSE and NOTICE files compared to the binary distro. 
I think the Apache Whisker tool could potientailly help with this 
[https://creadur.apache.org/whisker/index.html] but have not looked deeply.
