NOTICE file reqs?
I'm poking around in the incubator guide to understand the requirements
for a first release. I'm having a hard time figuring out exactly what is
needed when it comes to NOTICE files, we have one that is copied from
the Hadoop project:
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/cassandra/branches/cassandra-0.3/NOTICE.txt
In this ticket I have suggested adding a .LICENSE file for each of the
jar files we depend on, to make it clear what license they are under. Is
that sufficient? https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-176

Perfect. Unrelated to NOTICEs but you may want to try RAT [1] on a source
build as well, it's good at reporting a few things we often forget.

I checked the svn or distribution of the libraries we use, some don't
have a notice file and most are Apache projects and as such they have
the same notice that we already have.
There were three of them that had different notices from what we already
have:
https://svn.codehaus.org/groovy/tags/GROOVY_1_5_6/NOTICE.txt
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/thrift/trunk/NOTICE
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/lucene/java/tags/lucene_2_2_0/NOTICE.txt?revision=548013

The constraint on NOTICE is just to reproduce all NOTICEs of what you're
redistributing, when there are.

Sufficient for? It's certainly a good thing though.
