--------------------------------------------------------------------------

The [ASF parent|http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/maven/pom/tags/apache-16/pom.xml?view=markup] contains the correct license tag from which the checkstyle plugin etc. is inheriting.

maven-checkstyle-plugin inherits from maven-plugin (parent) where maven-plugin parent inherits from maven parent and from ASF..

http://maven.apache.org/pom/

That's the idea of a general parent(s) to avoid repeating several things which is the same for a large number of project. So there is no need to add the license entry into the maven-checkstyle-plugin pom file.
