Description

Originally reported from jmclean:

• NOTICE file incorrectly lists copyrights that shouldn't be there and mentions licenses such as MIT, BSD, and public domain that should be mentioned in LICENSE only.
• It's better to have a separate LICENSE and NOTICE for the source and binary releases.
