Hi,
I am bundling Noto (Sans and CJK JP for now, possibly others later) fonts inside other software. According to the licence I think I should comply to this:

2) Original or Modified Versions of the Font Software may be bundled,
redistributed and/or sold with any software, provided that each copy
contains the above copyright notice and this license. These can be
included either as stand-alone text files, human-readable headers or
in the appropriate machine-readable metadata fields within text or
binary files as long as those fields can be easily viewed by the user.

However, the licence file does not include any "above copyright notice". What is the proper copyright attribution for the fonts?

For Noto Sans CJK, the copyright attribution is:

Copyright © 2014, 2015 Adobe Systems Incorporated (http://www.adobe.com/).

For other Noto fonts, the copyright attribution is:

Copyright 2015, 2016, 2017 Google Inc. All Rights Reserved.

Also, the copyright lines are included in the copyright portion of the name table built into the font. I believe this meets the condition you cite. So, basically, if you change or redistribute the font you just need to leave the copyright notice in the font.
