NOTICE.txt
The following notice is not required and could be removed. I think it
is okay for this release but it should be removed to keep the NOTICE
minimal. The reason for removal is that these are not legal statements
that are required by the licenses of the those bundles.

it is listed as "MIT". Homepage also just says "MIT" and not
"MIT-style".
This is for included source in the source-release, which makes it
different to depending on a binary.
http://www.apache.org/dev/licensing-howto.html#permissive-deps is about
bundling.
When it's included source code, in the source-release, I'm not clear
whether that makes a need for something in NOTICE.
Ah ...
http://www.apache.org/dev/licensing-howto.html#mod-notice
No need if the original material has a copyright notice in place already.
So if you're taking some part of BSD-type source code, and the copyright
notice isn't in the source-release files, then something in NOTICE is
required. If the copyright notice of the BSD item is in-place, no need
to put something in NOTICE.
