    Description

      The following comment indicates what we need to do.

      The NOTICE file is still incorrect and includes a lot of unnecessary
      stuff. Understanding how to do releases with the correct legal files
      is one of the important parts of incubation and as this is the first
      release for the poddling i think this needs to be sorted out.

      For the NOTICE file, start with the following text (between the ---'s):


      Apache ManifestCF
      Copyright 2010 The Apache Software Foundation

      This product includes software developed by
      The Apache Software Foundation (http://www.apache.org/).

      and then add nothing unless you can find explicit policy documented
      somewhere in the ASF that says it is required. If someone wants to add
      something ask for the URL where the requirement is documented. The
      NOTICE file should only include required notices, the other text thats
      in the current NOTICE file could go in a README file, see
      http://www.apache.org/legal/src-headers.html#notice

      For the LICENSE file, it should start with the AL as the current one
      does, and then include the text for all the other licenses used in the
      distribution. Those license that are currently in the NOTICE file
      should be moved to the LICENSE file and then you need to verify that
      all the 3rd party dependencies in the src and binary distributions are
      also in the LICENSE files of those distributions.
