It looks like these file support comments so they should have an
Apache license header.
No, they are not ALv2 licensed.
Those files should be excluded by the RAT configuration in the Maven
build. The POM also has brief comments explaining the exclusions.
Odd. I see the same failures from both the -src.zip and the -src.tar.gz.
But I don't see the failure when running from a git checkout.
I can't explain this difference in behaviour. I did a diff of the
effective POMs for both and there were - ignoring paths and '-SNAPSHOT'
- identical.

The following is intended as a helper and refresher for reviewers.
Validating a release candidate
==============================
These guidelines are NOT complete.
Requirements: Git, Java, and Maven.
You can validate a release from a release candidate (RC) tag as follows.
1a) Download and decompress the source archive from:
https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/commons/daemon/1.6.0-RC2/source
1b) Check out the RC tag from git (optional)
This is optional, as a reviewer must at least check source distributions.
git clone https://gitbox.apache.org/repos/asf/commons-daemon.git
--branch commons-daemon-1.6.0-RC2 commons-daemon-1.6.0-RC2
cd commons-daemon-1.6.0-RC2
2) Checking the build
All components should include a default Maven goal, such that you can
run 'mvn' from the command line by itself.
2) Check Apache licenses
This step is not required if the site includes a RAT report page, which
you then must check.
This check should be included in the default Maven build, but you can
check it with:
mvn apache-rat:check
3) Check binary compatibility
This step is not required if the site includes a JApiCmp report page,
which you then must check.
This check should be included in the default Maven build, but you can
check it with:
mvn verify -DskipTests -P japicmp japicmp:cmp
4) Build the package
This check should be included in the default Maven build, but you can
check it with:
mvn -V clean package
You can record the Maven and Java version produced by -V in your VOTE reply.
To gather OS information from a command line:
Windows: ver
Linux: uname -a
4b) Check reproducibility
To check that a build is reproducible, run:
mvn clean verify artifact:compare -DskipTests
-Dreference.repo=https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/staging/
'-Dbuildinfo.ignore=*/*.spdx.json'
Note that this excludes SPDX files from the check.
5) Build the site for a single module project
Note: Some plugins require the components to be installed instead of
packaged.
mvn site
Check the site reports in:
- Windows: target\site\index.html
- Linux: target/site/index.html
6) Build the site for a multi-module project
mvn site
mvn site:stage
Check the site reports in:
- Windows: target\site\index.html
- Linux: target/site/index.html
Note that the project reports are created for each module.
Modules can be accessed using the 'Project Modules' link under
the 'Project Information' menu (see <path-to-site>/modules.html).
