That's dealt with in Maven. > There are two ideas going on in this thread.

We can probably also assist people in knowing about violations as well. If for example a dependency could have a license type associated with someone trying to assemble a set of JARs could be notified of meaning of doing so. > I'd hate to see us build mechanism that enforced policy. Definitely not enforce but certainly warnings. People can do what they like. We can provide information vis-a-vis possible license violations but ultimately individual projects are responsible for watching their own asses. > I'd like to lend a hand if this gets broken out into a separate project.
