Add source-style LICENSE and NOTICE files at "root"s of UIMA
------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: UIMA-860
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/UIMA-860
             Project: UIMA
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Build, Packaging and Test
            Reporter: Marshall Schor


The legal wiki seems to be converging to a concensus around having LICENSE and 
NOTICE files at the "root" of projects in SVN (underneath "trunk").  There was 
a lot of discussion about this from our previous release attempt.

There are multiple kinds of LICENSE and NOTICE files - those for our "source" 
distributions (which are pretty simple), and those for our binary ones (which, 
because these sometimes include other projects, have more complex versions - 
see 
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/incubator/uima/sandbox/trunk/uima-as/uima-as-distr/src/main/readme
 for instance).

To conform to this emerging Apache convention, put the "source" style of 
licenses beneath the "trunk" directory in our SVN (we have at least 2 of these 
- one for the main branch, and one for the sandbox.)   Also put at top level 
(the level containing the projects) in uima-as - there is a "collection" 
directory for all the uima-as projects.
