OK, so unless I can get Solarmetric (owner of Kodo) to put jars on Ibiblio, I 
cannot have it distributed with Maven - fair enough. I know Solarmetric would 
include it in the Kodo distrib so thats not a problem - the only problem 
there would be that people would have to hunt around to find that such a 
plugin exists.

I would typically use a GPL/LGPL license - so would this mean that if i did 
that I cannot put it on maven-plugins.sourceforge.net ? or is that project 
for all plugins regardless of license ?

Would it not be sensible to update the maven-plugins project to list ALL 
plugins available (and their licenses) in the same way as the eclipse plugins 
page does (regardless of whether they are commercial, GPL, Apache or 
whatever), and on have
* links to those included with Maven itself
* links to those provided from 3rd parties
* those provided by the maven-plugins project ?

That way there is a single reference point of everything available.
