That is not what I see in the NOTICE.txt and LICENSE.txt in the src zip
file. As I have detailed in my reply to the vote call, Marmotta has a
different approach.

It is not following the examples that were referred to. They
follow the line of "details go in LICENSE; NOTICE is minimal". The
Marmotta approach is to put everything in NOTICE.
For already properly marked included MIT/BSD, yon only need the LICENSE.
If you wish to put name/copyright in NOTICE then fine but putting the
LICENSE entry in NOTICE instead of LICENSE is more than that.

Details go in LICENSE:

You can vary that with a reason but I don't see one.

I don't see any further information in support of the current approach.

The LICENSE contains things that aren't licenses.
The NOTICE contains material that
http://www.apache.org/dev/licensing-howto.html#permissive-deps
puts in LICENSE.
-----------------------
It would be better if any changes are pushed to git, then let dev@ know
for a discussion. One reason there are many RC's is that discussion is
rushed and votes called when verifying the comments have been addressed
could be done.
