[jira] Created: (MNG-1331) dealing with licenses
dealing with licenses
---------------------
Key: MNG-1331
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-1331
Project: Maven 2
Type: New Feature
Versions: 2.0
Reporter: Jorg Heymans
Priority: Minor
maven could offer a configurable way to include project licenses in the jar, briefly discussed on IRC today
jorg does m2 have anything built-in to deal with library licenses ? just wondering ...
kenney <license> tag in the pom is all I think
jorg ah yep, i knew I saw something about it somewhere, tnx kenney
kenney and just distribute poms for non-freely-distributable jars (like the sun ones), stating where you can download/purchase them
jorg mmm "Typically the licenses listed for the project are that of the project itself, and not of dependencies."
jorg ok so unless all our dependencies are good maven citizens this won't really work ...
jorg no prob, we'll just include them ourselves then
kenney do you have to?
kenney if people distribute a jar/pom without a license, it's their fault
jorg well we (cocoon) have always done so
jorg that's true though , it's up to them to include them
trygvis I think people are a bit slack when it comes to adding that information
jorg definitely
kenney what about the bundle upload system?
jorg that's why i was hoping for maven to be able enforce something
trygvis we should probably start to enumerate the various licenses and give them IDs instead
kenney bundles have to have a LICENSE file.. where does that go?
trygvis not sure, ask carlos
kenney yeah or maybe extend the license tag to name the license (ASL-2.0) and the online-url, or alternatively list the license content itself.. or just add a bla-X-LICENSE.txt on ibiblio per project
jorg something like that yeah, and perhaps offering a configurable way of having the license file included in the jar ?
jorg or is that a hairy legal thing maven shouldn't get into ?
trygvis kenney: the name there (ASL-2.0) would be the id
trygvis jorg: good idea
jorg it would certainly advocate , albeit rather enforced, correct usage of libraries

[jira] Commented: (MNG-1331) dealing with licenses

Joerg Schaible commented on MNG-1331:
-------------------------------------
You may also have a look at the javaapp plugin for M1. This one collects META-INF/LICENSE.txt files of the assembled jars as META-INF/<artifactName>-LICENSE.txt.
