What's Wrong or Missing?

The Claude Code binaries distributed by Anthropic contain Open Source software.

Some of that software is made available to Anthropic under the terms of the Apache-2.0 license, however there does not appear to be a notice of this in the distributed files, nor on the Claude Code documentation website.

Suggested Improvement

I am not a lawyer, but I believe attribution is required under the terms of the Open Source software being used.

Impact
