-------------------------------------------------
[~akolb] Just to be clear on the changes. we could have added license
information statically in License.txt but it had to manually updated and
maintained. Using license-maven-plugin, updating license information is
automated.
when ever new code brings in new jars that we distribute, the LICENSE.txt
generated in sentry-dist/target would be updated automatically with the latest.
There would be manual work only when when sentry starts using jar's which are
not licensed by either of the below.
# BSD 2 clause
# BSD License
# CDDL 1.0
# CDDL 1.1
# CDDL 2
# Eclipse_Public_License-1
# MIT_License
# Mozilla Public License Version 1.1
# Public_Domain
# Apache
# The BSD 3 Clause
> Update the LICENSE.txt with the license information of distributed jars
