Maybe I wasn't clear enough: by "last instructions" I meant this thread
[2] in which sebb approved a patch that would modify the paragraph you
link to in [1] to read:

"Assuming once again that that the bundled dependency itself contains no
bundled subcomponents under other licenses and thus the ALv2 applies
uniformly to all files, there is no need to add another copy of the ALv2
license, but if the dependency is third-party, the LICENSE file should
include:

 'Includes Foo V1.2 under the Apache License 2.0'"


It does not mention binaries so I think it applies to source as well.  I
guess I could see if I have karma to go apply the patch now, but you're
saying there's another thread on documenting 3rd party works somewhere
else in the ASF?  Is on another list besides general@ or is it buried in
some podling's vote thread?

Thanks,
