Description

Issues found with last release:

• LICENSE file is not correct - looks like quite a few things need to be removed as they are not actually bundled in the source artefact. The LICENSE file in the source artefact should only reference software that is actually bundled in the source release.
• LICENSE file doesn't need to contain references to Apache licensed software only MIT and BSD software. Each bundled Apache software may modify the NOTICE file.
• LICENSE issue "The compiled Apache Drill distribution includes the following sources/binaries." is incorrect as a source distribution shouldn't normally contain binaries.
• LICENSE refers to CDDL licensed, CPL licensed, EPL licensed and MPL licensed software - all which are category B licences. Are these actually included in the source release and if so how? And if they are included why are they not in the NOTICE file (as per [2]) If not included why are these mentioned in the the LICENCES file at all?

I think the issue is we're using the same license file for both source and binary tarballs. We need to separate these out.
