The LICENSE-CODE file has a copy&paste error, fixed by this. I checked with other projects and the meaning of the license and the Copyright [yyyy] [name of copyright owner] should not be replaced by a project name.

I also added a NOTICE file as suggested by the apache license, see section 4.4 for details. Although our repo does not have a lot of content, I think it still helps to improve potential attributions.

Out of curiosity: Is this something the Legal folks of CNCF should/could review?

the change of the LICENSE file: no, the NOTICE file: maybe?

I removed the NOTICE for now, because it may require more discussion

Oh my, thanks for noticing that copy-paste error. There was back and forth some time ago in terms of which file(s) to use, I think that that's how it slipped 🤷🏼‍♂️

IMHO the LICENSE-CODE file needs further changes, the copyright notice is for the code in this repo, not the code in the documentation AFAIK. I'll open a separate issue to track this.
