Kevan Miller commented on LEGAL-178:
------------------------------------


I assume you are referring to "within the Source form or documentation, if =
provided along with the Derivative Works;"=E2=80=A6 I take "along with" to =
mean that the source or documentation may be included in the derivative wor=
k.  I don't think that separate downloads on the part of a user meet this r=
equirement=E2=80=A6

> Over at the Incubator a question has come up over where the LICENSE and N=
OTICE files should be located in binary release artifacts. I can't find any=
 precise or accurate documentation on this so could that be defined here?
> The web page http://apache.org/legal/src-headers.html#notice says:
>  "Every Apache distribution should include a NOTICE file in the top direc=
tory, along with the standard LICENSE file."
> However things like Java .jar artifacts don't do that and instead have th=
em located in the /META-INF directory. Related to that, what about things l=
ike Windows .msi or .exe insaller packages which don't have a "top director=
y"?=20
> I vaguely remember this question coming up before but i can't find anythi=
ng in the archives now, FWIR the answer then was it was ok for the LICENSE/=
NOTICE to be located where ever was most appropriate and expected for the e=
nvironment and binary artifact type.
> Any comments?
