Marshall Schor commented on UIMA-2019:
--------------------------------------

In response to the question: Question, why do we have two sets of 
LICENSE/NOTICE files ? They seem to be identical for the source and binary 
distribution ?

The answer is that the set at the top level is for the Source distribution, and 
the other is for the Binary distribution.  These can often be different.  For 
instance, if the source is just Apache licensed, the binary distribution can 
easily include other artifacts, pulled from Maven Central, each with their own 
particular license/notice needs.  

> correct license/notice files for distrs containing icons copied from the SVG 
> Icons project

> Some of our source distributions contain icons that are copied from Eclipse - 
> these need to have the appropriate license/notice information incorporated 
> into source (and if not already there, binary) distribution.
