OK, please see this: http://apache.org/legal/src-headers.html#notice To my understanding you should put these things into the NOTICE file which you are using. If you for example use software from Library $x, then you should include them in the notice file. Think on import statements or lets say some plugins. If you are only using a library file in the binary artifact, then you should only put a NOTICE there. For example a runtime dependency. Same goes to LICENSE. I am not an expert in that matter, but i think the links should reflect what i wrote here. > > Could you look over the new tree at the above url, and provide some > information on what should be going in LICENSE/NOTICE now. > [This is not a request for feedback on the release, rather just some > pointers on how to tidy up the remaining licensing problems before > making rc4]. If you would make a source package from that, I would expect to find usage of DOM4J, JDOM and JODA. I would not expect to find some code relating to JXYZ. Maybe its easy to think: src-package LICENSE/NOTICE contains what you need to compile. bin-package LICENSE/NOTICE contains what you need to run.
