Ted Dunning commented on DRILL-225:
-----------------------------------
All well and good, but by my reading a separate file is not required. From the
release guide:
{quote}
The Incubator Disclaimer
TODO: the incubator requires that users are informed that the by including a
standard disclaimer. may be include in README, RELEASE_NOTES DISCLAIMER. It is
recommended that it is not included in NOTICES
{quote}
( see
http://incubator.apache.org/guides/releasemanagement.html#notes-disclaimer )
This clearly states that the disclaimer can be in any of several files and that
there is no strong preference.
Another view is bound in the branding guidelines

Disclaimers
Podling web sites MUST include a clear disclaimer on their website and in all
documentation (including releases) stating that they are in incubation.
Podlings SHOULD use the following text for all disclaimers (replace the
underlined phrases as appropriate):
Apache Podling-Name is an effort undergoing incubation at The Apache Software
Foundation (ASF), sponsored by the name of Apache TLP sponsor. Incubation is
required of all newly accepted projects until a further review indicates that
the infrastructure, communications, and decision making process have stabilized
in a manner consistent with other successful ASF projects. While incubation
status is not necessarily a reflection of the completeness or stability of the
code, it does indicate that the project has yet to be fully endorsed by the ASF.
Podlings wishing to use a different disclaimer message MUST have the disclaimer
approved by the Incubator PMC prior to use.
For releases, the text SHOULD be included in a separate DISCLAIMER file stored
alongside the NOTICE and LICENSE files.
{quote}
(see http://incubator.apache.org/guides/branding.html )
The text here clearly and explicitly uses "SHOULD" rather than "MUST". Citing
standard usage from RFC-2119 (see http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2119 ), this
usage defines recommended practice, not required practice.
I don't think that this is a release stopper by any means.
