Please go through this [2] too. Looks like it is a basic requirement. <quote>
To apply the ALv2 to a new software distribution, include one copy of the license text by copying the file: http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0.txt into a file called LICENSE in the top directory of your distribution. If the distribution is a jar or tar file, try to add the LICENSE file first in order to place it at the top of the archive. This covers the collective licensing for the distribution. In addition, a correct NOTICE file MUST<http://www.apache.org/legal/src-headers.html#notice>be included in the same directory as the LICENSE file. </quote> Based on that I am -1 on the Rampart 1.6.2 Release.
