Well, I was not correct here. It is in the SVN, but fails to make it =
into any of the distributions.

I did a MacOSX build, reviewed the NOTICE, LICENSE, rat-exclude and rat =
output from a nightly build.

An amazing job was done with the Headers and the RAT report!

Here are my concerns:

(1) DISCLAIMER ought to be included in all packages. We'll have to see =
if this is a SHOULD or a MUST.

(2) LICENSE contains copyright statements which ought to be part of the =
NOTICE file. Again we'll see if this is a SHOULD or a MUST.=20

(3) When building from source there was no warning about the inclusion =
of Category B? I think that the Building Guide should be edited to more =
clearly explain the ext_sources and ext_libraries. I know we have the =
information. It is more making this clear. Again, I'm not sure if it a =
SHOULD or a MUST for a build to pause and get explicit permission to =
download category B.

Regards,
Dave
