I think it's quite common to put them in the jar. So the clause from
the license is:
2. Redistributions in binary form must reproduce the above copyright
notice, this list of conditions and the following disclaimer in the
documentation and/or other materials provided with the distribution.
I'd say that putting it in the jar would satisfy "other materials
provided with the distribution". Note you can also specify a license
section in the POM (though that wouldn't satisfy the license):
<licenses>
<license>
<name>The Apache Software License, Version 2.0</name>
<url>http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0.txt</url>
<distribution>repo</distribution>
</license>
</licenses>
At some point in the future I intend to have Clojars read that also
check for "COPYING" and "LICENSE" files in the uploaded jar and display
the license on the Clojars per-jar page.
