This is not an issue to solve. It is standard practice, and perfectly acceptable, to copy the entirety of the LICENSE text, with appendix included, for one's own LICENSE file in their project. This is especially true of ASF projects, themselves, which include a copy of the full text of the license. It is not strictly necessary to copy the full license to denote that the project is licensed under its terms, but ASF projects do that, and the appendix is typically included, because the text tends to be copied from https://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0.txt (or generated from GitHub's project templates, which also includes the appendix). Other projects may merely have an SPDX header or the suggested header from the license's appendix (or similar), or like Rust, only include the license terms without the appendix, but at ASF, we typically just include the full text of the license from https://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0.txt . I think this is a good thing to do, because at the ASF, we have an interest in sharing the license for others to use as well, and the appendix is a useful thing to include to show others how they can make use of the license. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
