The NOTICE file contains the following statement:

The web site includes files generated by Jekyll.

However, there is nothing in the LICENSE of Jekyll, that requires such attribution.

According to the instructions of composing the NOTICE file for ASF projects we shouldn't add anything in there that is not legally required.

The files comprisings the template of the web site i.e.,
site/_includes,
site/_layouts,
site/_sass,
site/css

were copied and slightly adapted from the ORC repository, which in turn copied the template from the Jekyll repository. There have been various small additions in the orignal template (some .html files under the respective directories are completely new) which could potentially licensed under AL2 but it would complicate the LICENSE documentation without significant gain. It's better if the consumers of the source distribution know that this is a Jekyll template licensed under MIT.

@mihaibudiu @XuQianJin-Stars After discussion under the JIRA I took quite a different approach in this PR (thus the rebase). Letting you know in case you want to reconsider your approval.

Licensing and the way it should be surfaced in documentation is not my forte, but the changes look fine otherwise.
