Hi Maven developers,

while browsing the ibiblio repository, I noticed that some LGPLd and GPLd artifacts didn't have their sources available. I hope that's just some glitch that happened when the artifacts were uploaded.

Since the GPL and LGPL both require the sources for binaries to be distributed as well, it'd be nice if the ibiblio repository could include them, too. See the GPL FAQ for more information: http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html

On a side note, I've seen that recently even hard-core Maven developers have began to recognize the value of having source code available though Maven. Congratulations on that amazing breakthrough. Hosting the free software sources in your central repository would make it easy for you comply with licenses of respective free software, while making it very convenient for maven users to access these sources through your tool.

cheers,
