Marc,
Apologies for jumping in so late.

One request for the LICENSE/NOTICE files that you're adding to the  
openjpa-all jar file. Rather than including your global LICENSE/ 
NOTICE files (that contain license/notice information for all  
artifacts in your binary release), could you limit the license/notice  
information only to the artifacts that are contained with in the  
openjpa-all archive? This allows embedding products to be more  
precise in their license/notice handling.

For instance, your NOTICE file contains the following:

* OpenJPA is bundled with the binaries from the JPA specification, by
     Sun Microsystems and licensed under the CDDL 1.0. The source  
code is
     available at: https://glassfish.dev.java.net/source/browse/ 
glassfish/

However, this does not apply (I believe) to the artifacts contained  
within openjpa-all. So, users of open-jpa may not have this  
dependency. Geonimo is embedding openjpa-all, but does not have a  
dependency on the Sun JPA specification (we have our own jpa spec API  
implementation).
