SebbASF commented on MNGSITE-152:
---------------------------------

That main Maven website looks good.
It has the license in the Download section, which is the best place for it 
(users need to know the license before downloading).

However, the plugin websites don't currently follow this lead.

Just checked the Aseembly and Changes Plugins and they bury the license link 
way down under Project Information as well as linking to a local copy rather 
than the ASF main site as required.
