docs(license): reconcile LICENSE/NOTICE attributions after #778#821
Merged
Conversation
Follow-up to the #778 discussion. #778 moved the Airflow/Groovy attributions from NOTICE into LICENSE; the thread converged on that being the wrong home for them. This puts each piece where ASF convention wants it: - NOTICE carries the required copyright-attribution lines for the ASF-project code that originated this framework (Airflow, Groovy) — minimal, copyright-lines-only, no descriptive prose. Only the top-level product copyright line is bubbled, per licensing-howto#bundle-asf-product; we do not copy those projects' own bundled third-party notices, which do not pertain to Magpie. - LICENSE drops the 'Contributions from other ASF projects' block (neither a license grant nor third-party license text) and keeps the 'Third-party content' block for the one genuine non-ASF inclusion (Julius Brussee / awesome-claude-skills), with the provenance pointer restored. - README gains an Acknowledgements section for the lineage narrative (airflow-steward heritage, Groovy contributions) — same rightsholder (Copyright ASF, AL 2.0), so documentation rather than a legal notice. The Airflow 2016-2026 / Groovy 2003-2026 copyright spans match the current upstream NOTICE files (verified), so they are accurate, not invented.
