Here we have a >source file with an Apache header, this is clearly covered by [1]. Maybe I wasn't clear enough: by "last instructions" I meant this thread [2] in which sebb approved a patch that would modify the paragraph you link to in [1] to read: "Assuming once again that that the bundled dependency itself contains no bundled subcomponents under other licenses and thus the ALv2 applies uniformly to all files, there is no need to add another copy of the ALv2 license, but if the dependency is third-party, the LICENSE file should include: 'Includes Foo V1.2 under the Apache License 2.0'" It does not mention binaries so I think it applies to source as well. I guess I could see if I have karma to go apply the patch now, but you're saying there's another thread on documenting 3rd party works somewhere else in the ASF? Is on another list besides general@ or is it buried in some podling's vote thread?
