Lukas Theussl commented on MPXDOC-143: -------------------------------------- IANAL either (and thank god for that), but this seems ok to me. The copyright statement only appears in intermediate files that are used by maven to generate the final result. They are basically just templates (which are Apache copyrighted) with some values filled in. They are not supposed to be used or deployed. The only possible problem I could see is in some rss files generated by some plugins (changes, checkstyle ...?), which contain a hardcoded Apache copyright statement . I'm not sure if this is ok, but in any case, that's an issue of the corresponding plugin and should be filed there. > Apache copyright statement in xdocs generated by Maven > ------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: MPXDOC-143 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MPXDOC-143 > Project: maven-xdoc-plugin > Type: Bug > Reporter: Guy Rixon > Priority: Minor > > > In xdocs generated by Maven - typically the standard project reports - there > is a copyright statement in favour of the Apache Software Foundation.
