Hi

-1 binding.

There several issues with LICENSE and NOTICE that need to be fixed/explained 
before I'd vote +1. I am concerned about the category B licences in particular. 
The required DISCLAIMER file is also missing.

- DISCLAIMER file missing
- incorrect year in NOTICE file (should be 2014 not 2013)
- make notice file more in line with standard NOTICE file [1]
- LICENSE file is not correct - looks like quite a few things need to be 
removed as they are not actually bundled in the source artefact. The LICENSE 
file in the source artefact should only reference software that is actually 
bundled in the source release.
- LICENSE file doesn't need to contain references to Apache licensed software 
only MIT and BSD software. Each bundled Apache software may modify the NOTICE 
file.
- LICENSE issue "The compiled Apache Drill distribution includes the following 
sources/binaries." is incorrect as a source distribution shouldn't normally 
contain binaries.
- LICENSE refers to CDDL licensed, CPL licensed, EPL licensed and MPL licensed 
software - all which are category B licences. Are these actually included in 
the source release and if so how? And if they are included why are they not in 
the NOTICE file (as per [2]) If not included why are these mentioned in the the 
LICENCES file at all?

What's good:
- artefact contains incubating
- signatures and md5 good
- no binary files in source release (other than a few files used for testing)
- source files have apache header (although some testing .json and the like 
look to be missing headers)
- can compile from source

Thanks,
Justin
