AIUI they are needed in SVN as well. > LICENSE and NOTICE come via the > remote-resources-plugin configuration in Apache parent pom, see > http://repo2.maven.org/maven2/org/apache/apache/7/apache-7.pom The remote-resources plugin has only generated a rudimentary NOTICE file, which does not seem to cover all the contributions.

Not necessarily. It may be in a site module which is used to maintain www.apache.org/dist/project files (e.g. HEADER and README html files). This is because it must be present in the dist/ directory, so it makes it convenient to store it alongside HEADER and README. Have a look at the subdirectories under: http://www.apache.org/dist/incubator/ and you will see that there is a KEYS file for each (apart from one or two that don't have any files in them yet). --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
