Hi Heather,

Is it mandatory to disclose the linking type of the components in the notice file of software?

No, it's not. Linking method really only matters for LGPL. Some customers, buyers or investors will ask for the information so they can do diligence on LGPL use. But for most licenses it is irrelevant. And no open source licenses requires you to disclose it in a license notice.

Thanks for the question!
