Whilst accepted as correct, e-mail is a 1980s: abbreviation of electronic mail.
As such should be correctly spelt as 'e-mail' and not 'email'.
This commit corrects the spelling within the NOTICE OF LICENSE header.
Future commits can then be made to correct further misspellings with adequate testing.

This replaces the line...

  • obtain it through the world-wide-web, please send an email
    to...
  • obtain it through the world-wide-web, please send an e-mail

Wouldn't a proper abbreviation be e'mail?

It matters not, I believe, as in legal texts abbreviations are considered inappropriate. Perhaps this commit should be changed to use the full phrasing of "electronic mail". Better yet - to be clear - perhaps everything should be written in Latin.

Thank you for your contribution! After reviewing your proposal with the content writer we decided to not merge your pull request. When preparing labels for interface elements in Magento, we are following the Associated Press Stylebook. According to this guide, the word "e-mail" should be spelled as "email" without dash. We are closing this pull request so far.
