I've found a licence issue while making the maven war artifact. As you
know we make a war release using our 'ant build-release-war' task. This
artifact is then usually located up at the normal apache download area.
(http://www.apache.org/dist/incubator/wookie/version/binary/war) This
artifact is aimed at a typical mysql/tomcat configuration and assumes
that the user will deploy the war in that kind of setup. As far as I
can tell, the NOTICE file is okay for this.
However, the *new* maven war artifact we make is slightly different in
that it is intended to be self contained and as such uses an embedded
derby db (the maven artifact contains a 'derby-10.4.2.0.jar' file, while
the other war distro does not) While reviewing the NOTICE file for this
artifact I see that the reference to derby (as found in the standalone
NOTICE file) is not present.
i.e the following text...

I can quite easily add that text to the maven war artifact LICENSE
before uploading to the staging area, but then the tagged
'0.9.2-incubating' etc/release/war/LICENSE would be slightly different
from the one found in the maven war build.
*If* we can't change this now, does this mean we should drop the maven
WAR artifact for this release? (this doesn't affect anything else)

P.S The other builds are up at:

you want to check them out before I start the vote.
