We can confirm from Cliff, but AFIK we need to include license.txt for all jars. I guess Dan just mentioned that on the list.

I've included the full text of the license with the jms.jar and the slf4j, backport and junit. The Saxon website says there code is open source but not what license. I found an RPM of saxon that claimed to be MPL, so we could include that. The rest of the libs are all apache. Do we really need a license file for them?
