    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BOOKKEEPER-145?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13271872#comment-13271872 ] 

Patrick Hunt commented on BOOKKEEPER-145:
-----------------------------------------

I regenerated the binaries and they look ok. Notice that according to the Apache License (for included works under AL) you should do the following:

{noformat}
      (d) If the Work includes a "NOTICE" text file as part of its
          distribution, then any Derivative Works that You distribute must
          include a readable copy of the attribution notices contained
          within such NOTICE file, excluding those notices that do not
          pertain to any part of the Derivative Works, in at least one
          of the following places: within a NOTICE text file distributed
          as part of the Derivative Works; within the Source form or
          documentation, if provided along with the Derivative Works; or,
          within a display generated by the Derivative Works, if and
          wherever such third-party notices normally appear. The contents
          of the NOTICE file are for informational purposes only and
          do not modify the License. You may add Your own attribution
          notices within Derivative Works that You distribute, alongside
          or as an addendum to the NOTICE text from the Work, provided
          that such additional attribution notices cannot be construed
          as modifying the License.
{noformat}

You're ok in this case with your notice file, because if you look at the jars (e.g. commons lang or commons io) you'll see that they include NOTICE files. If this were not the case you'd be required to replicate their notice file w/in your own.

> During the 4.0.0 I manually put these in the binary tarballs. This is awkward though. It's easier just to have them in the source tree.
