[ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-1331?page=all ]
Brett Porter updated MNG-1331:
------------------------------
Description:
maven could offer a configurable way to include project licenses in the jar,
briefly discussed on IRC today
jorg does m2 have anything built-in to deal with library licenses ?
just wondering ...
kenney <license> tag in the pom is all I think
jorg ah yep, i knew I saw something about it somewhere, tnx kenney
kenney and just distribute poms for non-freely-distributable jars
(like the sun ones), stating where you can download/purchase them
jorg mmm "Typically the licenses listed for the project are that of
the project itself, and not of dependencies."
jorg ok so unless all our dependencies are good maven citizens this
won't really work ...
jorg no prob, we'll just include them ourselves then
kenney do you have to?
kenney if people distribute a jar/pom without a license, it's their
fault
jorg well we (cocoon) have always done so
jorg that's true though , it's up to them to include them
trygvis I think people are a bit slack when it comes to adding that
information
jorg definitely
kenney what about the bundle upload system?
jorg that's why i was hoping for maven to be able enforce something
trygvis we should probably start to enumerate the various licenses and
give them IDs instead
kenney bundles have to have a LICENSE file.. where does that go?
trygvis not sure, ask carlos
kenney yeah or maybe extend the license tag to name the license
(ASL-2.0) and the online-url, or alternatively list the license content
itself.. or just add a bla-X-LICENSE.txt on ibiblio per project
jorg something like that yeah, and perhaps offering a configurable
way of having the license file included in the jar ?
jorg or is that a hairy legal thing maven shouldn't get into ?
trygvis kenney: the name there (ASL-2.0) would be the id
trygvis jorg: good idea
jorg it would certainly advocate , albeit rather enforced, correct
usage of libraries
