License is here: https://github.com/jmespath/go-jmespath/blob/master/LICENSE

IMO this should be closed.

For what it's worth, the standard way to license under Apache-2.0 is to

HOW TO APPLY THE APACHE LICENSE TO YOUR WORK

Include a copy of the Apache License, typically in a file called LICENSE, in your work, and consider also including a NOTICE file that references the License.

To apply the Apache License to specific files in your work, attach the following boilerplate declaration, replacing the fields enclosed by brackets "[]" with your own identifying information. (Don't include the brackets!) Enclose the text in the appropriate comment syntax for the file format. We also recommend that you include a file or class name and description of purpose on the same "printed page" as the copyright notice for easier identification within third-party archives.

So you should put apache license full text into the file called LICENSE, your current content in LICENSE should better be moved to a file called NOTICE.

@jamesls can you take a look above?

The reason I come here is because I'm scanning licenses of all my project's dependencies, I noticed this repo cannot get its license auto-detected, because it is not applying apache 2.0 license in the standard way.
