> Please feel free to adjust the priority, however [http://www.apache.org/legal/release-policy.html#licensing] says that license clearance is a must, thus I report this as a Blocker.
> {quote}Every ASF release MUST comply with ASF licensing policy. This requirement is of utmost importance

> I downloaded apache-maven-3.6.2-bin.zip, and I see the following issues with it (note: there might be more):
> h2. 1) jcl-over-slf4j:1.7.25
> in apache-maven-3.6.2/LICENSE:
> {quote} - JCL 1.2 implemented over SLF4J ([http://www.slf4j.org|http://www.slf4j.org/]) org.slf4j:jcl-over-slf4j:jar:1.7.25
>  License: MIT License (MIT) [http://www.opensource.org/licenses/mit-license.php] (lib/jcl-over-slf4j.license){quote}
> The license for the artifact is most likely Apache 2.0 rather than MIT: [https://github.com/qos-ch/slf4j/tree/master/jcl-over-slf4j]
> h2. 2) slf4j-api:1.7.25
> in apache-maven-3.6.2/LICENSE:
> {quote} - SLF4J API Module ([http://www.slf4j.org|http://www.slf4j.org/]) org.slf4j:slf4j-api:jar:1.7.25
>  License: MIT License (MIT) [http://www.opensource.org/licenses/mit-license.php] (lib/slf4j-api.license){quote}
> Maven does not comply with SLF4j license.
>  Here's license for SLF4j: [https://www.slf4j.org/license.html]
>  It requires to include slf4j copyright notice, however, Maven fails to do that
> h2. 3) MIT license
> [http://www.opensource.org/licenses/mit-license.php] must not be used as it almost never points to a true license. It is extremely unlucky that someone would copyright their work as "Copyright (c) <year> <copyright holders>"
> h2. 4) org.eclipse.sisu.inject:0.3.3
> in apache-maven-3.6.2/LICENSE:
> {quote} - org.eclipse.sisu.inject ([http://www.eclipse.org/sisu/org.eclipse.sisu.inject/]) org.eclipse.sisu:org.eclipse.sisu.inject:eclipse-plugin:0.3.3
>  License: Eclipse Public License, Version 1.0 (EPL-1.0) [http://www.eclipse.org/legal/epl-v10.html] (lib/org.eclipse.sisu.inject.license){quote}
> The link to eclipse.org/sisu responds with 404.
> sisu might have their own copyright notices that should be retained, however Maven re-distributes none of them (org.eclipse.sisu.inject.site-0.3.3.zip has notice.html file which is not present in Maven re-distribution)
> h2. 5) ASM in org.eclipse.sisu.inject-0.3.3.jar
> lib/org.eclipse.sisu.inject-0.3.3.jar bundles ASM. ASM is MIT licensed, thus every re-distribution MUST retain ASM copyright notice.
>  Maven re-distributes ASM and fails to comply with ASM license.
> h2. 6) jsoup in wagon-http-3.3.3-shaded.jar
> lib/wagon-http-3.3.3-shaded.jar bundles jsoup ([https://jsoup.org/license]) which is MIT-licensed. Maven fails to comply with jsoup license.
