sbp opened a new issue, #877:
URL: https://github.com/apache/tooling-trusted-releases/issues/877

   Our [release 
policy](https://www.apache.org/legal/release-policy.html#licensing-documentation)
 says:
   
   > For source packages, `LICENSE` and `NOTICE` MUST be located at the root of 
the distribution. For additional packages, they MUST be located in the 
distribution format's customary location for licensing materials, such as the 
`META-INF` directory of Java "jar" files.
   
   But currently we are checking for `LICENSE` and `NOTICE` files in binaries 
in the root. This was a problem during an Apache Maven Daemon release, and 
prevented them from using ATR because this is a blocking check. We can 
gradually add package format specific license and notice file path checks, but 
for now we should remove this check as it is unreliable, does not confirm to 
policy, and prevents releases.
