Hi
As mentioned by Simon on the release thread for maven-jar-plugin, there
has been discussions [1] over at Apache Commons regarding the
apache-jar-resource-bundle [2].
The issue that people have pointed out there, is that the generated
NOTICE file includes more stuff than they think it should. They are of
the opinion that it should *not* contain info about the dependencies of
a project. Only things that are included in the distribution (i.e. the
jar-file) should be NOTICEd, they say.
Simon also asked on the legal-discuss list for an expert opinion, but
received no responses.
The documentation about ASF policy on NOTICE files [3] are scarce, and
doesn't really say anything in the matter, as far as I can see.
IANAL, so I promised that I would take this matter up on maven-dev.
