Compliance: APL 2.0 should have a NOTICE file

lucasgonze opened this issue · 0 comments

Summary

The Apache 2.0 license is different than MIT in that the copyright statement and license go into different files. The copyright statement goes in a file named NOTICE, the license goes into a file named LICENSE. See https://www.apache.org/legal/src-headers.html#notice

The request repo does not have any NOTICE file. Including your NOTICE file is a requirement of the license. So downstream dependents are not able to comply with the terms of your lcense.

Possible Solution

Create a file named NOTICE at the root of the rep with contents along these lines: (from https://www.apache.org/legal/src-headers.html#notice)
