The work I've done has been patching the official maven-artifact-manager,
maven-artifact and maven-settings modules. The patch, comments and answers
are all here:

http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-671

The holdup currently is that I don't know what the standard way of accessing
and modifying the user's settings is (nor do any of the maven devs!). I've
asked multiple times on the maven dev mailing list and in the JIRA issue
itself, but no answer. Based on a thread in the dev list (
http://www.nabble.com/how-to-get-current-settings-object-tf2180267.html) it
looks like Jason van Zyl may be the one who holds the key.

It might be possible to produce custom snapshots of these three modules for
internal use, but without the settings info it would prompt the user about
unknown licenses each and every time, instead of saving the response. If
anyone knows Jason, maybe they can give him a friendly nudge?

~love~ to get my hands on some of the source code in such a way that
it is more conveniently available / documented for all.

Is there any hope of getting even a snapshot version of some sort of
"licensing click through" plugin for maven? Is it a modification of an
existing plugin or just a brand new thing? If it's new I think we can
host it in the tapestry snapshot repos ...Otherwise maybe I can help
try and move things along in maven land if it's getting held up there.

I think it would make sense to have it live as a bonafied sub-project
of tapestry.apache.org, but maybe others think it should live
elsewhere? (perhaps as a sub-project of hivemind.apache.org
originally, with tapestry specific stuff existing under
tapestry.apache.org? I think that might get confusing but who knows..)
