This problem was also discussed from NetBeans side:

Hi,
Could you please, help me to answer a question:
Is third party code included in langtools sources?
If "no" then _why_ the THIRD_PARTY_README and ASSEMBLY_EXCEPTION
files are included into the repository?
Actually I'm working on the Debian/Ubuntu native packaging for
NetBeans IDE.
NetBeans uses javac that is a fork of the langtools repository:
http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk7/tl/langtools/
So I have to create a debian package for it. The problem is that
Debian policy is strict about license:
I must point the license for each file in the upstream source (files
from langtools repository). Currently I can't explain why
THIRD_PARTY_README and ASSEMBLY_EXCEPTION are in the upstream. Are
there any files that need them?
Thanks in advance,
-Yulia

Hi,
the NetBeans javac is a fork of the javac from the OpenJDK. More
precisely, we use a fork of the langtools repository:
http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk7/tl/langtools/
The THIRD_PARTY_README and ASSEMBLY_EXCEPTION files originate in this
repository. I am not sure if we can simply delete them. Better
solution, in my opinion, would be to ask the maintainers of
OpenJDK/langtools repository whether these files could be removed from
the original langtools repository (I do not think these are needed for
langtools, but IANAL). We could adopt the change in our fork easily.

Hi,
As nobody responds I think it is better to use the same license and
copyright files for packaging as we've used for javaparser-6.0:
http://java.netbeans.org/files/documents/25/1798/nb-javaparser-6.0-src.zip
nb-javaparser-6.0-src.zip doesn't contain THIRD_PARTY_README and
ASSEMBLY_EXCEPTION, so
Honza, could you please, ___remove___ these files from the
http://java.netbeans.org/files/documents/25/2033/nb-javaparser-6.1-src.zip
?
Thanks in advance,

Hi all,
Could someone explain me how to determine what license .java file
(for example) is under?
I definitely don't understand why we need THIRD_PARTY_README and
ASSEMBLY_EXCEPTION for javaparser upstream.
Does third party code is included there? How can I check that?
I've looked through the source code in
http://java.netbeans.org/files/documents/25/2033/nb-javaparser-6.1-src.zip
and couldn't find any copyright mentioned in THIRD_PARTY_README.
Furthermore for NetBeans we remove all license files from the
upstream, including THIRDPARTYLICENSEREADME.txt and leave
one LICENSE file with GNU and CDDL licenses.
Thanks in advance,
Yulia

Question: What is THIRD_PARTY_README good for?
In OpenJDK, we use that file to track licenses of third party code
included in the source code,
so that downstream knows what the ingredients are. See
http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk7/jdk7/file/3300a35a0bd5/THIRD_PARTY_README
for an example.
It is necessary to include this?
It makes the life of the packager easier, in general, since Debian,
for example, wants to know what
licenses all the code in a project is under, including third party
code that's included in the sources.
