Is license an inherited property ?

Hi everybody,

I have a surely straightforward question for anyone with Maven 
knowledges, but i can't manage to find the right answer.

Assume a project A under Maven with a license (with the usual "licenses" 
tag and son on...) specified in it.
Assume a project B that has A as parent, and no license is written down 
inside in the POM of B.

Question is : Does the project B automatically inherit the license that 
stands for A ?

Thanks a lot for your answers.

Cheers,
Cédric
