Need to wait until m2 has built in support to reach into a modules

things like ../../LICENSE.txt into a module will only cause
environments like Continuum to break or to behave differently.
The alternatives are to setup a special legal-files resources
bundle module, which all modules can depend on, unpack and
extract... but that kinda sucks. Or use URLs for the files....
though that just makes the build more prone to fail and moves
farther away from having everything for the build controlled in
svn... so I don't really recommend that either.
I'd leave it in each module for now, and then once m2 has built in
support to reach into parent modules we can revisit.
We also have to be careful in that not all modules LICENSE and NOTICE
files are going to be the same as they may include 3rd party code
redistributable under ASL but that requires e.g. an additional notice.
BTW DISCLAIMER is for incubator project to point out that they are in
the incubator.

Hi,
I'd like to use tools-maven-plugin to include the legal files
(LICENSE, NOTICE, DISCLAIMER). How should I configure the plugin to
place these files in one location only, in a top-level module? What I
could achieve so far was to place these files in a module's main
directory, but I'd rather not keep'em in every module, but in a
top-level module only.
