Sounds good. I'd like to have on point clarified though. What's the intent for use / include wrt to a binary jar, a source assembly (ready to build), a binary assembly (composed of multiple bundles like the karaf one), a source jar (only the source for the jar with no build system), and a javadoc jar (only contains the javadoc) ? When reviewing all the license / notices files for karaf, it was not always clear to me what I should put in all those cases.
