Open Source License Files...

["Viens, Steve" <St...@FMR.COM>]

One of the few things we have left to do before being able to graduate is to
include licenses for other open-source products bundled in with source and
binary (and cvs).  I was thinking of two options...

  1. For every foo.jar file within the /lib directory adding a license named
foo.LICENSE - also within the lib directory.

  2. Creating a foo.LICENSE in a new directory called /legal

I have noticed one or two other projects used option 2 and I kind of like it
(thought I can't remember which) but I don't want to make  a unilateral
decision (that's not the Apache way) .. ;)

Anyone have a preference? Some other suggestion?
