I think you meant NOTICE? There is no additional LICENSE requirement for Derby. As it only affects one of the binary releases and not the source release, I would have thought we could get away with fixing this in the release artifact rather than starting another tag? > *If* we can't change this now, does this mean we should drop the maven WAR > artifact for this release?
