Release area missing LICENSE file?
Hi,
At http://www.apache.org/dev/release.html it states:
"Is A Full Copy Of The License Required In Each Source File?
In short, only one copy of the license is needed per distribution. This full license file should be placed at the root of the distribution in a file named LICENSE. For software developed at the ASF, each source file need only contain the boilerplate notice."
Does that mean the LICENSE file should exist in the /dist/flex directory or just zipped up in the src bundle?
Thanks,
Justin

The tag does contain these files, but in a random sampling of the dist
folder, I only saw one project with a LICENSE file at the root.

I think we shouldn't do this. Especially the NOTICE as it pertains to the
SDK itself. Different work we do and put on dist will have different NOTICE
files.

Yep not hard to do so I've add LICENSE and NOTICE to the base directory.
Thanks,

I was told on incubator.a.o that the dist and release tag in SVN should
contain the README, NOTICE, LICENSE and DISCLAIMER (not required anymore)
But a quick glance at http://apache.org/dist/ shows that not many of the
TLPs do this. But I think it is safer to include it.

IMO, "root of the distribution" === "zipped up in the src bundle"
