I also wonder about resources/LICENSE.txt and resources/NOTICE.txt - why are those present?
If you're referring to the ones in the main jclouds repo [1], these are bundled up as a "shared resource" as part of the build process to be included in all the JARs that are produced.
The *usage* of this shared bundled was removed by Andrew B in a recent commit [3]. If that works as intended we're now getting any required resources included automatically, then we shouldn't need the entire remote resources generation any more.
