Description

*The LICENSE file has this entry "This product bundles 'Jolt' which is available under an Apache License"
We should not have apache licensed items in our license file. We only need to carry forward NOTICE information of such dependencies and those would go in our NOTICE if applicable.

• The nifi-assembly/NOTICE file has an "MIT License" section. This should be removed. MIT licensed items should be reflected in the LICENSE file and Luaj already appears to be there.

• The nifi-assembly/NOTICE file references "Python Software Foundation" section. Python license is category A. Such dependency belongs in LICENSE file and not NOTICE. Only if that dependency has a NOTICE with legally required items should there be a reference to it in our NOTICE as well.
