Hi,
I am a Maven fan and stumbled over a this:

Is this true? In any case, thought you might want to know...
That post is FUD as far as I'm concerned. The problem is easily solved
by including any necessary license files or notices by including them
in the JAR. Then amazingly when the user gets the JAR they get the
required additions. There is inventional called a JAR file. It's
pretty useful for packaging things up and delivering them.
The guy who posted this also appears to be from the company
responsible for producing Saxon, so unless they plan on suing people
who use JARs coming from Maven then there is no legal problem. They
have to enforce it. Would be easy enough to take the JARs they produce
and put the notice files in the JARs if their build is deficient in
doing this.
Maven is completely able to deliver copyright notices. You package
them up in the releases you create which is what we do at Apache.
Keep up the good work!
