IIUC:
- the core OneJar comes from Simon with his specific license
http://one-jar.sourceforge.net/index.php?page=documents&file=license that
is quite permissive
- Simon seems to be unresponsive to any update or contribution = this is
the main issue with OneJar, because there was no update in 10 years
- UnoJar did the best fork possible: could not avoid retaining the original
license, but at least it's now back to a living project with contributions
- UnoJar does not provide any Maven Plugin, but points to another fork of
the plugin from GoogleCode
- this Maven plugin fork https://github.com/greening/unojar-maven-plugin is
GPL-licensed (because it was the license at Google Code)and has migrated
from original OneJar to current UnoJar

so IMHO, the best we can do is:
1. either contact greening to put his work at MojoHaus, staying with GPL
license (because he can't really change)
2. or do a clean rewrite at MojoHaus with the license we want, without
using code from Google Code (that is GPL licensed)

in every case, it will use UnoJar because that's the more viable option

WDYT?
