Right.  I have tried point the maven.license.licenseFile to a URL as
well and it does not pick it up - it only seems to pick it up on disk.
Any ideas on how I can reference a license file from a URL?

The license plugin uses the maven.license.licenseFile property for 
generating the license. Actually, I don't know what the license in the 
pom is used for.
