Finally got around to work on pulling this third-party library in our code. So added the Apache license header to the source files. Now trying to figure out what to do with the original license / copyright notice. What is our approach to that? Just strip them off the source files on the premise that they are mentioned in the common NOTICE/LICENSE?
This is what Apache license header seems to imply: "See the NOTICE file distributed with this work for additional information regarding copyright ownership."
Still wanted to doublecheck.
Thanks,
Andrus
