Subject: LICENSE and NOTICE in jar artifacts (was: New copyright
header policy)
Reply-To: "Maven Developers List" <dev@maven.apache.org>
According to the two mails below from [EMAIL PROTECTED], starting
with today a PMC isn't allowed to release an artifact if the
sources don't cover the new copyright header policy (second
mail). Additionally we need to add LICENSE and NOTICE files
inside jars too (first mail).
Has the maven-jar-plugin been adapted to meet this requirement
or is there some simple way to achieve the same result?

What would be the policy for jar files that can be distributed

have the LICENSE and NOTICE files inside the jar?
Yes -- if they are the result of work created at the ASF (not
third-party works, which should just be left as they were found)
