All of them are inside the packages in the location specific to the given OS. E.g.: $ rpm -ql -p ~/Downloads/hive-0.8.1-1.fc16.noarch.rpm | egrep "LICENSE|NOTICE" /usr/lib/hive/LICENSE /usr/lib/hive/NOTICE These are basically rules of Linux distributions: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:LicensingGuidelines#License_Text http://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/copyright-format/1.0/ Please let us know if that's enough from the Apache standpoint or whether it is desirable to have those files eslewhere (including the repository itself).
