A common thing for Apache licensed software is to provide the "short" version in the readme.
This can easily be copied for open source attribution pages.

The source code would potentially suggest this is that text:

It's also possible that it should have a variation to mention the runtime exception, or link to the Swift.org mirrored license

Quick note: The snippet above used to have an incorrect copyright notice. This notices in this repository read Copyright (c) <years> Apple Inc. and the Swift project authors.

Ah, sure. I was extrapolating from swift-log, where I posted a similar issue.

Admittedly that looks like a pure Apache license, and is obviously an older project.
