[GitHub] incubator-taverna-server pull request #5: Moved copyright notices to META-IN...

Moved copyright notices to META-INF/LICENSE.*

On genera@incubator, [Justin 
commented](https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/78aa01f01b377e0d1fae38706ab94c51380ee10fad89cd2ee5c8a5a0@%3Cgeneral.incubator.apache.org%3E)
 that we do not need to list the OGF license text within NOTICE.


We do however need to be careful not to imply that the full OGF Document 
license applies to our taverna-server-usagerecord Java files, as they are 
considered _"derivative work"_, which are _"without restriction of any kind, 
provided that the above copyright notice and this paragraph are included as 
references to the derived
portions on all such copies and derivative works"_

So the suggestion is to move out the license of the two PDF files from OGF 
to separate files under META-INF (even though those PDF files are not included 
in the distro) -- and then only refer to them from the upper LICENSE. The 
NOTICE can then go back to normal ASF-only.
