Description

following our license/notice updates, teh avro-tools jar fails with a NPE because it wants to print out a NOTICE.txt in the root of the jar.

busbey$ java -jar avro-tools-1.8.0.jar
Version 1.8.0 of Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException
	at org.apache.avro.tool.Main.printStream(Main.java:105)
	at org.apache.avro.tool.Main.run(Main.java:92)
	at org.apache.avro.tool.Main.main(Main.java:74)
busbey$ java -jar avro-tools-1.8.0.jar --help
Version 1.8.0 of Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException

We should probably not print the entire NOTICE unless a cli arg is given, since it is much bigger now.
