How about a license plugin? Then, the plugin could copy this new resource 
into the right place.

Or putting licences into a special maven dependency? Maybe we could add 
"source" dependencies. There are like JAR dependencies but are downloaded 
and compiled locally instead.

I mean, 99% of all license files will me verbatim copies of the original 
ones, so we could keep them in a single, central space. And in the POM, I 
just say "license:gpl:2.0".
