Yes, we already talked about that :-)

I will create an issue for the notice/license problems you found.

The projects are Ruta projects and are not built with maven. They can be
checked out from the scm, and if build, there will be no notice/license
file otherwise.

Is it possible that the best practice has changed somehow? I am quite
sure that I had to add the notice because of the license.
