Actually, I think that I was ambiguous a bit in my statement. My intent was to say that each distribution is independent and the notice should be considered on the content of the distribution. You are correct that source may appear in binary distributions and binary in source distributions and that these situations make my statements hard to understand. My point was that the content of one distribution does not inherently imply the contents of the NOTICE or LICENSE files in a different distribution. Each must be well-formed based on their own content. Thank you for the clarifying restatement.
