Nathan Bubna commented on VELOCITY-518:
---------------------------------------

To my knowledge, Velocity has never released a POM as an independent artifact.  We have only had a pom.xml in a release since the 1.5-beta1 release.  This pom.xml had the requested license section.  Prior to that we had a maven1 project.xml that did not contain license information.  That project.xml was only included in the 1.4 release.

We can't retroactively modify previous releases in the archives.  We have no plans (or desire that i'm aware of) to release POMs for all the "affected versions" you list.   In fact, i'm not currently aware of us planning to release a POM independent of our standard distribution at all, and if we do, it will be based on our current pom.xml which has had the license info from its inception.

So, what exactly is it that you expect us to do here that prompts you to list this as a major bug?  Without some more direction, i'm inclined to resolve this as Invalid or Incomplete.

>             Project: Velocity
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: Build
>    Affects Versions: 1.0b1, 1.0b2, 1.0b3, 1.0-Release, 1.1-rc1, 1.1-rc2, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3-rc1, 1.3, 1.3.1-rc2, 1.3.1, 1.4, 1.5 beta1, 1.5 beta2

> A licenses section should be added to the velocity poms.   It should look something like:
>     <licenses>
>         <license>
>             <name>The Apache Software License, Version 2.0</name>
>             <url>http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0.txt</url>
>             <distribution>repo</distribution>
>         </license>
>     </licenses>
> The maven team is working on using that information in several plugins to help validate releases.  (Example: there could be an apache validate plugin that makes sure all the licenses of dependencies are OK for apache to release)
