We only need to add files to NOTICE if we bundle them right?
http://www.apache.org/dev/licensing-howto.html#bundled-vs-non-bundled

And we need two NOTICE files, one for src and one to bin like in MINA2

For src, since we don't bundle anything, only simple Notice would do, for
bin distro, we package protobuf & slf4j, along with Apache libs are the
only things needed in notice.

Sorry for this back and forth, but damn this legal stuff is confusing.
