Hi Ate,

Thank you very much for paying attention to detail and reviewing the release. 
There were some unnecessary assembly directories within modules which had wrong 
NOTICE.txt files which were taking precedence. And also during recent build 
file improvements I changed profiles and mistakenly did not include the 
disclaimer remote-resource-plugin. These are now fixed. I also addressed the 
NOTICE file trimming suggestions from legal-discuss. The only outstanding known 
issue is the external maven repositories, which we need to address gradually 
certainly before graduation. 

Thanks,
Suresh
