[m1] license report

I have question on the license report:

We have many projects that all use the same license and we would like to
reference the same license from a URL so that we do not have to check in
our license every time we start a new project - ie becomes a nightmare
if our license changes, then we would have to go through all of our
projects and change it.  I also tried adding the following to the
project.xml file:

	<licenses>
		<license>
			<name>Our License</name>
	
<url>http://maven-projects/docs/licenses/MCS-LICENSE.txt</url>
			<distribution>repo</distribution>
			<comments>License specifc for the MCS
team</comments>
		</license>
	</licenses>

But the license report did not pick anything up.  Any ideas?

Thanks,

Tim.

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.
