Are there still requirements for the source tree in SVN, as far as having applicable LICENSE and NOTICE files there? My understanding is then that the source LICENSE and NOTICE files must reside at the root level in the SVN tree - which implies that the binary tar/zip build CANNOT be built from the same root. Is that correct?
