The Apache-2.0 appendix still carried the template placeholder "Copyright [yyyy] [name of copyright owner]", so the repo-level license named no copyright holder.

Problem
LICENSEis the pristine Apache-2.0 template. Its appendix still readsCopyright [yyyy] [name of copyright owner], so the license under which this package redistributes the SAM 2 weights names nobody.Fix
Name Meta Platforms, Inc. and affiliates, which is what this repo already says everywhere else:
NOTICEreads "SAM 2 / Copyright (c) Meta Platforms, Inc. and affiliates." and states that the ONNX exports are redistributed under Apache-2.0.LICENSEis titled "Distribute SAM 2 models under Apache-2.0 with Meta attribution".Deliberately not PickNik. The repo ships no source files, only model weights plus an ament build wrapper (
CMakeLists.txt,package.xml), and that wrapper is separately covered byLICENSE.build(BSD-3-Clause,Copyright (c) 2026 PickNik Inc.). Putting PickNik in the Apache-2.0 appendix would claim ownership of Meta's weights.One line changed. The license text itself is untouched.
