Yes, see http://www.apache.org/dev/release.html#distribute-other-artifacts

If properly tracking the licenses of all the dependencies included in
such a composite artifact is too much effort, you can always *not*
publish the artifact. Just leave it up to downstream users to compile
it and thus have them take over responsibility of properly managing
the licensing status in case they want to redistribute the resulting
artifacts.

Then these projects have some work to do. Can you file issues with
these projects referring the above link and this email thread?
