Ok. Following this (reasonable) argumentation I'd say the we can remove the
META-INF folder on any subproject which
doesn't adds the dependency artifact to the jar itself like e.g. the jars
subproject.
For those I suggest to move the specific licenses to a folder
{module}/src/licenses and have them added to the
jar/META-INF directory using the <resources> tag in the pom.
WDOT?
