Description

Double check that binary distribution licensing issues are all OK.

For example, see comments from Ed Espino on 1.10 RC-2 review on thread
https://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/incubator-madlib-user/201703.mbox/%3CCAHAuQDzarS7K4u-rOsLLhbwSHCyFn5cKSyjLinE%2BZ%3DjSpU59qw%40mail.gmail.com%3E

 I was performing the build from a simple perspective. Download
  source, configure, make and glance at docs (in this order).

  As we have dealt with auto-downloaded files in the HAWQ project, I
  was a surprised that the following packages were automatically
  downloaded for me. On the HAWQ project we were instructed to require
  these as pre-requisites and or make them optional included via
  command line options (configure).  I'm guessing other packages would
  have been automatically downloaded if they were not found on system
  (eg: boost).

  Automatically downloaded packages:

      https://github.com/madlib/eigen/archive/branches/3.2.tar.gz
      http://sourceforge.net/projects/pyxb/files/PyXB-1.2.4.tar.gz
  
Issue: As "make" was running, the following message was a bit alarming:
       PyXB: Removing GPL component from code base
  
    This comes from the script src/patch/PyXB.sh run after PyXB source
    is downloaded.
    
      ...
      echo "PyXB: Removing GPL component from code base"
      rm -f doc/extapi.py
      rm -f doc/extapi.pyc
