The first commit of this repository dates from 11 March 2025, so the copyright runs from 2025. NOTICE was added in d12d618, on 2026-03-30, when the project moved to Apache-2.0, and took the year of that move.
Apache-2.0, section 4(d), requires derivative works to carry the attribution notices in NOTICE. With the repository's URL in it, every copy that follows the license points back to this project.
Other people authored code that is still in this repository, and Apache-2.0 licenses their contributions without transferring their copyright. Gap 3 of docs/licensing.md recommended naming them as a group next to Hugo Payet, with a pointer to AUTHORS.md. NOTICE points to the repository instead, whose history names them: release archives ship NOTICE but not AUTHORS.md.
Gap 3 asked NOTICE to date the copyright from 2025 and to credit the other authors. NOTICE now does both, and links the repository rather than AUTHORS.md.
Release archives ship NOTICE next to LICENSE, and every redistribution must keep it, so the change is listed for users.

Summary
NOTICEdated the copyright from 2026, the year it was added with the move to Apache-2.0, although this repository's first commit dates from March 2025. It named Hugo Payet alone, although other people wrote code that is still here, and Apache-2.0 does not transfer their copyright.docs/licensing.mdlisted both points as gap 3. The other CoreTrace repositories get the sameNOTICE, starting with CoreTrace/coretrace-stack-analyzer#261.Change
NOTICEreads "Copyright 2025-2026 Hugo Payet and the CoreTrace contributors" and gives the repository's URL, so every copy that reproduces it, as Apache-2.0 requires of derivative works, points back here.docs/licensing.mdmarks gap 3 as done. Where it suggested a pointer toAUTHORS.md,NOTICElinks the repository: release archives shipNOTICEbut notAUTHORS.md.CHANGELOG.mdlists the change under Unreleased.Verification
NOTICE:Dockerfile.release-binariesandscripts/release/package-macos.shcopy it into the release archives.NOTICEof the bundled analyzers and compiler only for being non-empty, which the pull requests in those repositories keep true.commit_checker.pyof coretrace-compiler, the strictest in the organization (subjects of at most 72 characters).
