At the other hand for the Cheiron project I put the NOTICE and LICENSE

If the artifacts are intended to be distributed and used independently (as apparently these jars are, as well as any jars uploaded to e.g. maven's distribution mechanism) they should have NOTICE and LICENSE files in their contents as well. They would belong in the top level or in the META-INF directory of the distribution jar/ zip files.

No doubt people find that insane too, but once I
felt it made sense :-)

Makes sense to me.
