FW: Review of Apache license notice included in source files

You can disregard my last request – I found the correct template below:

Subject: Review of Apache license notice included in source files

 

I am updating the SPDX Tools source code to use the Apache 2.0 License.  In addition to a NOTICE and LICENSE file, I plan on including the following text in all source files.  Since we are not contributing the code to the Apache Software Foundation, I cannot use the standard template.

 

Could the legal team review the text and let me know if this is OK or if you would recommend and changes. 

 

Thanks,


Gary O’Neall
