   * 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?
-    * [SamRuby] Root directory of the distribution
+    * [!SamRuby] Root directory of the distribution [!SebastianBazley] does "distribution" include source code repositories?
   * 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? 
-     * [SamRuby] I would agree... for the LICENSE and NOTICE

     * Or should they ever include references to external dependencies? If so, when?
-     * [SamRuby] Seems like something that one would expect to find in a README

     * 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?
-     * [SamRuby] I'm not sure I understand this question.  One distribution, multiple files, one set of NOTICE, LICENSE, and README files.
+     * [!SamRuby] I'm not sure I understand this question.  One distribution, multiple files, one set of NOTICE, LICENSE, and README files. [!SebastianBazley] I was thinking of projects which distribute archives containing multiple jars. The jars may also be distributed independently (e.g. via Maven repositories), so presumably need N & L files too. Or some projects may have multiple archives which include different combinations of files - perhaps one which contains everything, and others which contain different subsets.
