Description

+Problems:

• checked LICENSE/NOTICE on binary
  • binary artifact LICENSE file has not been updated to include the additional license terms for contained third party dependencies
  • binary artifact NOTICE file does not include a copyright line
  • binary artifact NOTICE file does not appear to propagate appropriate info from the NOTICE files from bundled dependencies
• checked NOTICE on source
  • source artifact NOTICE file does not include a copyright line
  • source NOTICE file includes notices for third party dependencies not included in the artifact
• checked NOTICE files shipped in maven jars
  • copyright line only says 2015 when it's very likely the contents are under copyright prior to this year
• nit: NOTICE file on jars in maven say "HBase - ${module}" rather than "Apache HBase - ${module}" as required
