There are several problems with the NOTICE and LICENSE files. The NOTICE file should only pertain to artefacts actually included in distribution; it should not have any details of transitive dependencies. So the "/uses" text should be removed.
The line This product includes/uses software(s) developed by 'an unknown organization' is rather unhelpful; there are 3 organisations involved and the NOTICE should mention these separately and by their proper names. There are also multiple additional mentions of 'Apache Software Foundation'; some of these give http://jakarta.apache.org/ as the ASF web address, which is clearly wrong. None of the additional mentions should be present - they just make the file difficult to read. The LICENSE file needs to contain copies of all the 3rd party licenses, or at least pointers to them, see: http://www.apache.org/dev/apply-license.html#new It should list the exact jars to which the 3rd party licenses apply, e.g. jdom-1.0.jar - see licenses/jdom.txt Having the version number is important as the license may change for different versions.
