I think NOTICE and LICENSE should be under META-INF rather than in the root of the JAR. I have tried to find a reference for this but can't. The maven sources don't include: font_metrics.properties empty.ppt should they?

I am working on what changes are required to get this working maven-dist - builds fine no problems > Any further suggested improvements gratefully accepted :) Some source files do not contain the licence header. These include: font_metrics.properties various package.html files various xml files It is probably required for some of these files. The definitive guidance is in "What files in an Apache release do not require a license header?" at http://www.apache.org/legal/src-headers.html If we decide a large number of files need this text added, I'm happy to lend a had to do it but I don't want to start doing something we later decide is unnecessary. On Tomcat we have had problems with people mis-using the Tomcat name and/or logo. We should consider adding something similar to the Trademarks text at http://tomcat.apache.org/legal.html to the POI legal page.
