LICENSE and NOTICE (and DISCLAIMER if it's a seprate file) must be at the root of the released source tree. You can put readmes, release notes, etc. wherever you like.
Note that we typically don't use a .txt extension on LICENSE and NOTICE, but I don't think that's a hard requirement. By the way, I found that the following, apparently text files, have the 'executable' bit set when unzipped on Unix: ./LICENSE.txt ./NOTICE.txt ./docs/release_notes.md ./docs/wiki/basic-concepts/async-support.md ./docs/wiki/basic-concepts/getting-started.md ./docs/wiki/basic-concepts/ignite-life-cycel.md ./docs/wiki/basic-concepts/maven-setup.md ./docs/wiki/basic-concepts/what-is-ignite.md ./docs/wiki/basic-concepts/zero-deployment.md ./docs/wiki/clustering/aws-config.md ./docs/wiki/clustering/cluster-config.md ./docs/wiki/clustering/cluster-groups.md ./docs/wiki/clustering/cluster.md ./docs/wiki/clustering/leader-election.md ./docs/wiki/clustering/network-config.md ./docs/wiki/clustering/node-local-map.md ./docs/wiki/compute-grid/checkpointing.md ./docs/wiki/compute-grid/collocate-compute-and-data.md ./docs/wiki/compute-grid/compute-grid.md ./docs/wiki/compute-grid/compute-tasks.md ./docs/wiki/compute-grid/distributed-closures.md ./docs/wiki/compute-grid/executor-service.md ./docs/wiki/compute-grid/fault-tolerance.md ./docs/wiki/compute-grid/job-scheduling.md ./docs/wiki/compute-grid/load-balancing.md ./docs/wiki/data-grid/affinity-collocation.md ./docs/wiki/data-grid/automatic-db-integration.md ./docs/wiki/data-grid/cache-modes.md ./docs/wiki/data-grid/cache-queries.md ./docs/wiki/data-grid/data-grid.md ./docs/wiki/data-grid/data-loading.md ./docs/wiki/data-grid/evictions.md ./docs/wiki/data-grid/hibernate-l2-cache.md ./docs/wiki/data-grid/jcache.md ./docs/wiki/data-grid/off-heap-memory.md ./docs/wiki/data-grid/persistent-store.md ./docs/wiki/data-grid/rebalancing.md ./docs/wiki/data-grid/transactions.md ./docs/wiki/data-grid/web-session-clustering.md ./docs/wiki/distributed-data-structures/atomic-types.md ./docs/wiki/distributed-data-structures/countdownlatch.md ./docs/wiki/distributed-data-structures/id-generator.md ./docs/wiki/distributed-data-structures/queue-and-set.md ./docs/wiki/distributed-events/automatic-batching.md ./docs/wiki/distributed-events/events.md ./docs/wiki/distributed-file-system/igfs.md ./docs/wiki/distributed-messaging/messaging.md ./docs/wiki/http/configuration.md ./docs/wiki/http/rest-api.md ./docs/wiki/release-notes/release-notes.md ./docs/wiki/service-grid/cluster-singletons.md ./docs/wiki/service-grid/service-configuration.md ./docs/wiki/service-grid/service-example.md ./docs/wiki/service-grid/service-grid.md ./modules/core/src/main/resources/META-INF/licenses/apache-2.0.txt That's not really wrong, but it is strange. -- Brane On 09.03.2015 22:50, Dmitriy Setrakyan wrote: > Sorry, I asked my questions incorrectly.
