Log:
Add third-party licenses to LICENSE file, update jQuery to 1.2.5.
This feels non-standard for FLOSS packaging. It was my understanding
that the
LICENCE file should only contain the canonical Apache licence and
the NOTICE
file should contain any other information about 3rd party software.
NOTICE is really only about copyright and attribution. LICENSE is
about the license(s) under which the package is being made available,
including any included code from third parties.
I picked this up from several mails on the [EMAIL PROTECTED] list over
the last couple of months.
Here are some references:

Searching for some "more authorative" information, I just found this:
<http://wiki.apache.org/legal/3party/notice>
Which says:
> LICENSE: This file should contain the Apache License, Version 2.0

It points to the LICENSE file of the HTTPD project as an example.
