> Reported by Marshall:
> I noticed that some but not all of the internal projects within the examples
> folder (example-project, extensions-project, TextRulerExample) have their own
> license/notice - which can be a maintenance issue - for example, these have a 2013
> end date in the Notice part.  Normally, the License/Notice files are put at the
> top level of a distribution; I'm not sure why they're here.
> The NOTICE file in many places has duplicate info for creative commons that's
> also part of license file.  Normally any information that's already in the
> License file should not be also duplicated in the Notices file.  The Notices
> file is for things which are not part of the license terms, but need to be
> present (such as copyrights).  See
> https://www.apache.org/dev/licensing-howto.html#simple
> where it says, in part:
>     However, elements such as the copyright notifications embedded within BSD
> and MIT licenses need not be duplicated in NOTICE -- it suffices to leave those
> notices in their original locations.
> Looks like the build process for the individual project Javadoc jars is
> including the license /notice files appropriate for jars containing Icons from
> Mark James, but those Jars don't have those icons.
> Also the Mark James attribution in both notice and license has an extra "the" in
> front of Mark James:
>     This product contains icons developed by the Mark James  --- should read:
>     This product contains icons developed by Mark James
