GRMPF, I thought I'd doublechecked everything but obviusly I've missed that 
point. :-(

I've tried to determine if the missing license files from the precompiled jar 
is a major or a minor issue? I'm not sure
if I understood everything in [1]. As the ASF primarily distributes source is 
it sufficient that the src-jar has all the required license files or do I have 
to add them to the precompiled jar, too?
