So I got pinged again by the repository folks, this time Daniel Kulp.
None of our maven artifacts have a LICENSE or NOTICE file in them, and apparently this is also required per http://www.apache.org/legal/src-headers.html:
Does the policy apply to binary/object files, such as executables or JAR files? Yes. Even if there are no source files within the release, the LICENSE file and NOTICE file are still both required within every ASF distribution -- whether the unit of distribution is a .jar, .msi, .tar/.?gz, .zip, .exe installer, or any other file format used for distributions. For example, Windows .exe files must not be used as a unit of distribution unless they are installers and include the LICENSE and NOTICE files in their installation.
This is in Jira as PLUTO-349. I'm not sure where this leaves us with our existing releases. Elliot
