Hi Justin, the use this ODC-BY 1.0 licensed file has been allowed in https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LEGAL-182. We filed this JIRA for our 0.2 release.
The date in the NOTICE is covered by https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VXQUERY-113 and it will be addressed for the next release. Some build instructions are available on the website, but I agree that we should put those into the source artifact as well. I've just created https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VXQUERY-114 for this. Thanks for checking the release!
