Hi,
uhm, this is as ambiguous as before. Do you consider third-party license
a notice (the foo library is distributed under the foo license as shown
here) or a license in its own right and you would put in into LICENSE.
According to http://apache.org/dev/apply-license.html#new, the LICENSE
file is a copy of http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0.txt
And is that *really* important?
I find the current NOTICE rather misleading - it looks as though the
whole of JCS is licensed under a Xerox licence.
I think it's therefore important to fix this.
Best regards
Henning
