For JAI, note that the maven distribution is just the pom, with an url that
that should be used manually.
For NetREXX, there is :
4. make copies of the original file you downloaded and distribute
it, provided that you transfer a copy of this license to the
other party. The other party agrees to these terms by its
first use of the Program.
So I guess the fetch.xml should also download the license, and should inform
the user.
There is also :
You are responsible for the payment of any taxes resulting from
this license.
I'm not sure if the You would be the end user or the ASF.
