That appendix is not the repository’s actual copyright declaration. It is Apache’s example showing
how someone may apply the license to individual files.

LICENSE.txt = the generic Apache-2.0 license text
NOTICE.txt = project attribution / upstream attribution
source files = file-level copyright + SPDX + modification notices

Pull request overview

This PR updates LICENSE.txt to use the generic, upstream Apache License 2.0 text (removing project-specific copyright statements from the license text and restoring the standard Apache appendix boilerplate), aligning with the repo’s intended separation of LICENSE.txt vs NOTICE.txt vs per-file headers.

Changes:

  • Removed the repository-specific copyright line from the top of LICENSE.txt.
  • Restored the standard Apache License appendix placeholder line (Copyright [yyyy] [name of copyright owner]).
