Comments asking for clarification

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
   * README
    * Additional restrictions that may be relevant to select audiences are to be noted in a README.  [https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/httpd/httpd/trunk/README example] contains a Cryptographic Software Notice.
  
+ [Sebb] Comments
+  * I assume that NOTICE files don't need to itemise Apache projects, e.g. if Apache Foo includes Apache Bar in the distribution, this does not need to be mentioned, as Apache Bar is covered by the paragraph: "This product includes software developed at The Apache Software Foundation..."
+  * Where do the LICENSE, NOTICE and README files need to appear? eg.
+    * In every independently distributed artefact, e.g. source/binary archives, binary jars (Java)?
+    * In source code repositories? If so, where?
+    * If an archive includes nested archives or Java jars, I assume these also need N&L files - is this correct?
+  * I assume that the LICENSE NOTICE and README files are only supposed to contain details of items that are actually '''included''' in a distribution.
+    * Is this correct? 
+    * Or should they ever include references to external dependencies? If so, when?
+    * Where an Apache project has multiple modules which are also distributed in separate files, do the N&L files need to be tailored for the individual items, or can the same N&L files be used for all modules? For example, there may be some code in module A that requires an attribution, but module B does not have the code: can module B use the same N&L files?
