There's no quick answer; the question is, will someone who is making a
good-faith effort to follow the license not realize that the LICENSE and
NOTICE files are slightly differently named, and thus not follow whatever
related requirements are in the license. Even in that rare circumstance,
most of the time it'll be an honest mistake - I doubt someone would defend
their right to disobey those terms when they're told about their mistake.
Well, the quick answer is probably: yes, that's alright. But if a weird
problem arose, we could simply switch to a more conservative
interpretation.
