Is there a JIRA to fix this for the next release? If may be (but unlikely IMO) 
that this applies [1]. Best to ask on legal discuss to confirm.

In a binary convenience release you would normally add LICENSE and NOTICE to 
these files in the META-INF directory of the jars. These jars are missing that. 
Even if it was an exe file you would add a license. [2]

Thanks,
