From ce3cd5ccc1af742b602677f526b9325f8bdeeb8f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Noah Hollmann Date: Wed, 13 May 2026 17:16:54 +0200 Subject: [PATCH 2/3] chore: address NOTICE review feedback preemptively - Add upstream copyright lines to adapted source files (skrub, lucidrains rotary-embedding-torch). Upstream projects don't ship per-file headers, so we add an inline attribution block citing the upstream URL, copyright holder, and SPDX identifier. - Update NOTICE entries to include the upstream copyright lines. - Clarify the "Adding new entries" policy to distinguish whole-directory vendoring (vendor LICENSE alongside) from single-file adaptation (in-file attribution + NOTICE is sufficient). Same pattern just applied in tabpfn-time-series#129 in response to a gemini-code-assist review.
