The NOTICE file includes attributions for two products that are not present=
.
AIUI it's important that NOTICE only contains *required* attributions
because the NOTICEs have to passed on to downstream users.

The ------------ divider lines should be removed (not a blocker) and
the year should be updated.

Also, the lib directory is full of licence files for products that are
not present.
It's not necessary for everything in SVN to be in the source archive,
though everything in the source archive must be in SVN (or be
derivable directly from it)
This is confusing.
