    Description

      In order to release the binaries, we need the LICENSE and NOTICE files added in the DEB/RPM packages.

      COMPILED PACKAGES

      The Apache Software Foundation produces open source software. All releases are in the form of the source materials needed to make changes to the software being released.

      As a convenience to users that might not have the appropriate tools to build a compiled version of the source, binary/bytecode packages MAY be distributed alongside official Apache releases. In all such cases, the binary/bytecode package MUST have the same version number as the source release and MUST only add binary/bytecode files that are the result of compiling that version of the source code release and its dependencies.

      Licensing Documentation

      Each package MUST provide a LICENSE file and a NOTICE file which account for the package's exact content. LICENSE and NOTICE MUST NOT provide unnecessary information about materials which are not bundled in the package, such as separately downloaded dependencies.

      For source packages, LICENSE and NOTICE MUST be located at the root of the distribution. For additional packages, they MUST be located in the distribution format's customary location for licensing materials, such as the META-INF directory of Java "jar" files.
