Feel free to find the violations and remove them with a notification on the maven-user list. You are more license aware and can remove any problems faster then any of us can.
As you are undoubtably aware, dIon recently noted that an instance of gump was placing jars on a non-ASF resource in a manner which was not compliant with the license for that software. I can only presume that given the circumstances there was a slight bit of glee in that discovery by dIon, and I wouldn't begrude him for that.
What's important is that I immediately took responsibility for this, instituted a policy that only jars that are explicitly marked are to be published (i.e., step one is empty the pool), and marked an initial subset as clearly OK. This is coupled with the knowledge that any changes to these descriptors involve an e-mail to a mailing list where every change is very actively reviewed.
I see that jsse has been removed from ibiblio. Good. It is unfathonable to me that somebody could not only have missed the license, but also missed the registration process which involved verfication of your physical location and login and not known that it was improper to place such a jar on a public location for everyone to download. I can only presume that such an individual did this on other occasions, and that there is no effective oversight of this repository.

P.S. There is a bit of hyperbole in the statement I made above about removing every other admin. Clearly dIon through his deeds and actions has demonstrated responsibility in this matter.
