The Apache 2.0 text as published by the ASF typically includes the Appendix section (including the boilerplate notice). Removing it makes this LICENSE non-canonical, which can cause automated license-detection / compliance tooling to misidentify the license text. Consider keeping the Appendix intact (or confirm your license scanning/compliance expectations and update the PR description accordingly).

| To apply the Apache License to your work, attach the following | |
| boilerplate notice, with the fields enclosed by brackets "[]" | |
| replaced with your own identifying information. (Don't include | |

| comment syntax for the file format. We also recommend that a | |
| file or class name and description of purpose be included on the | |
| same "printed page" as the copyright notice for easier | |
| identification within third-party archives. | |

The license is canonical. GitHub published and enabled a version that includes the boilerplate instructions that everyone now incudes which is in your training data. https://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0
Standard Apache 2.0 does not include the template for copyright. We can include that on other files if it needs to persist, but it should include the NVIDIA Corporation and 2025 as the year rather than placeholders.
