I had a look, since I was just dealing with NOTICE for another project. The key is whether copies of the third-party libraries are distributed. In the case of Drill, yes there are loads of 3rd party jars distributed in jars/; they are not just Maven deps referenced in pom.xml.
I am sure this will entail some entries in NOTICE just from looking at the deps, which aren't there. See for example http://www.apache.org/dev/licensing-howto.html Functionally it's trivial; from a license / legal perspective, it's one of the only things that matter, and ultimately it's vital to dot all those i's and cross those t's. It's tedious to construct the right NOTICE file since it will entail figuring out what third party deps are built in to things like hive-exec too. I have a few tips for whatever brave soul wants to take on that task. Some Maven plugins can do most of the legwork.
