Hi, uhm, this is as ambiguous as before. Do you consider third-party license a notice (the foo library is distributed under the foo license as shown here) or a license in its own right and you would put in into LICENSE.
According to http://apache.org/dev/apply-license.html#new, the LICENSE file is a copy of http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0.txt And is that *really* important?
