> Key: MJAR-10
> URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MJAR-10
> Project: Maven 2.x Jar Plugin
> Type: New Feature
> Reporter: Jorg Heymans
> Priority: Minor

>
> 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
