I have way more experience in these matters than everyone else at the
ASF combined. If you put stuff in NOTICE that is not legally required
to be there, I will remove it as an officer of the ASF. If you add it
back in, I will have to duplicate the effort of removing it again.
That will not make me a happy camper.
:) Yepp, I totally understand that - and to be honest I'm not happy
about the whole situation either. I spent too much time on getting the
stuff right, and then things were changed, removed, added and this
resulted in a -1 vote and total confusion about what to place where and
what not. Looking at all the discussions at the ASF about NOTICE files
(and there are many), it clearly shows that this is not an easy topic
and that there are soo many different opinions.
I know that you're an expert on this matter - there is no doubt about it
and I believe you. I know that I ask very much from you now, but would
it be possible that you review the notice and license files for a last
time? And I promise I won't change them afterwards again :) And then
we're are sure that we've done the right thing and can finally happily
release.
And I hope that everyone else here (and in the incubator pmc) accepts
this as well!

Carsten
