To apply the ALv2 to a new software distribution, include one copy of the license text by copying the file:
<http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0.txt>http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0.txt
into a file called LICENSE in the top directory of your distribution. If the distribution is a jar or tar file, try to add the LICENSE file first in order to place it at the top of the archive.
In addition, a NOTICE file should be included in the same directory as the LICENSE file. [...]
So it seems that burying LICENSE (and NOTICE) within ./manual/ for
our binary distributions (unpacked into /opt/asf/apache2/ or wherever)
just doesn't cut it.
I just checked - a normal ./configure ; make ; make install does not install the NOTICE file anywhere.
In theory the NOTICE file should be installed next to the LICENCE file.
The solution would then be to fix the make install target first - the RPM spec doesn't install what make install doesn't put there...
Is the missing NOTICE file reason enough to hold up the release of v2.0.50?
