I believe I have correctly followed the guidance from the legal-discuss
thread.  I just downloaded open sans from Google's web fonts.  There is no
NOTICE file, and my understanding from the legal-discuss thread is that
this means no copyright attribution is required, and that copyright
attribution would go in NOTICE if required, not LICENSE.

For me, the documents on Apache websites and the advice from legal-discuss
is reconciled and I am proceeding with creating an RC.  I believe we will
not be in violation of any Apache policy by shipping with the LICENSE as
it is in Git (I checked in the amended text).  At this point, I think it
is time to get the Installer in the hands of our customers so we can get
better information on those failures.  If we get some other answer from
legal-discuss, we can rectify it in the next Installer release.  I predict
we will do a 3.2 based on information we learn from failure tracking.
