Template: The Universal NOTICE File

To ensure seamless compliance, maintainers can instantiate a new repository by copying the exact text block below into a new NOTICE file located in the root directory of the source code repository (right next to the LICENSE file and README.md).

Do not put NOTICE files in this Wiki. The Wiki is for documentation. The source code repositories require the legal files.

Here is the finalized, go-to eOzka NOTICE template. You can copy and paste this instantly into any organization project without needing to edit it:
