Hi,

That's also my opinion. There are however several other issue with LICENSE and 
NOTICE, most are also "bugs' but I'm concerned about the other GPL licenses and 
the EPL license.

Notice file needs some changes (mostly things removed).
- No need to list Scala collection license as this is Apache licensed and has 
not NOTICE file. [1]
- Look like JetBrains Annotations does have a NOTICE file and this text needs 
to go into the NOTICE file [2]
- No need to list Persistent Collections library as it is MIT licensed and is 
already in LICENSE. [3]
- No need to list snaptree as this is BSD and is already in LICENSE. [3]
- No need to list org.jdk8.backport, you could out this in LICENSE (assuming it 
is public domain and not GPL).

License file may need a few additions:
- Add org.jdk8.backport (se above)
- Possibly missing jcraft (BSD)?
- Possibly missisng SL4j (MIT)? 
- Public domain books

Is this GPL software bundled or required?
./modules/core/src/main/resources/META-INF/licenses/gnu-gplv2ce-license.txt
./modules/geospatial/licenses/jts-lgpl-license.txt
./modules/hibernate/licenses/hibernate-lgpl-2.1-license.txt
./modules/schedule/licenses/cron4j-lgpl-2.1-license.txt

It look like the software bundles these?
./modules/ssh/licenses/jcraft-revised-bsd.txt
./modules/visor-console/licenses/jcraft-revised-bsd.txt
./modules/slf4j/licenses/sl4j-mit-license.txt
./modules/visor-plugins/licenses/slf4j-mit-license.txt
./modules/scalar/licenses/scala-bsd-license.txt
./modules/visor-console/licenses/scala-bsd-license.txt

If so then need to be added to LICENSE.

This may also be a concern as it is a weak copyleft license. [4]
./modules/aop/licenses/aspectj-epl-license.txt

You may also want to mention these in LICENSE (public domain):
./modules/hadoop/src/test/java/org/apache/ignite/internal/processors/hadoop/books/alice-in-wonderland.txt
./modules/hadoop/src/test/java/org/apache/ignite/internal/processors/hadoop/books/art-of-war.txt
./modules/hadoop/src/test/java/org/apache/ignite/internal/processors/hadoop/books/huckleberry-finn.txt
./modules/hadoop/src/test/java/org/apache/ignite/internal/processors/hadoop/books/sherlock-holmes.txt
./modules/hadoop/src/test/java/org/apache/ignite/internal/processors/hadoop/books/tom-sawyer.txt

Thanks,
Justin
