Thank you for your remarks, Pedro.
Just two things:
1. I was referring to LICENSE and NOTICE files in an installed binary
distribution. I should have used NOTICE file, since that is what is named in
ALv2, and I should have said copy of the license, not a specific LICENSE file.
I verified just now that those conditions are satisfied on Windows 10 at
the install point of the binary distribution, with a NOTICE and with a copy of
ALv2 in the accompanying license file.
I did not look at the root tree of the corresponding source code. I also
don't see anything that specific in ALv2 about where the necessary files are to
be situated.
I stand by my observation that the ASF is not the sheriff here and that we
should not be either. That diligence is something for others who might be
impacted to provide. We should not be making any allegations here at all.
2. I am not certain what you are making reference to as licensing concerns in
Apache OpenOffice. It would be helpful if you open Bugzilla issues on your
findings, if you have not already. Please let me know the issue numbers. If
you believe that is inappropriate and that discretion is required, report
instead to private@ oo.a.o and it will receive immediate attention.
Thanks for raising these concerns,
- Dennis

Considering your personal remark are you referring to clause 4 (a) and
(d)? IANAL
and that's someone else's job at the ASF, but I didn't find those in the
root tree
of a certain third party, which is where I would expect them to be.

Back to the topic of ALv2 dependencies. I think you are aware that I
notified
the PMC repeatedly about licensing concerns. I hope the situation is solved
before the next release as it may be an issue. [ ... ]
