I don't think the following addition to LICENSE.txt is appropriate:

This would be appropriate if we were shipping sources from
differently
licensed components. What we have done - I think (IANAL) - is create
*derivative works* from the original sources. Someone can correct me
if I am wrong, but I don't see how that means that we now have
"subcomponents" with separate license terms. Can someone explain
this?

I suggest the following change:
--- LICENSE.txt (revision 798724)
+++ LICENSE.txt (working copy)
@@ -203,12 +203,12 @@
-APACHE COMMONS MATH SUBCOMPONENTS:
+APACHE COMMONS MATH DERIVATIVE WORKS
-The Apache commons-math library includes a number of subcomponents

This is much better than my simple copy from the example.
I'll check it in in a few minutes, thanks for the fix

Got on piece of feedback from legal-discuss, which is to make explicit
which classes in [math] depend on which of the original sources. That
should be added to LICENSE.txt either at the top or in the section for
each original source.
This is already the case. In fact, in addition to the attributions
formerly in the NOTICE file and now in the LICENSE file,
What was suggested was that in LICENSE and NOTICE files themselves, we
should specify which commons-math files depend on which original
sources. Currently, the original sources are just listed, with no
reference to the classes that are derived (in part) from them.
OK. I've added it.

Thanks!
