Yes and apologies - I should have picked this up after the feedback you
gave on localizer; I've also identified a few other packages in the
pipeline that also have this issue.
I have noted that some packages make reference to the license in the
Maven pom.xml file - for example:
<licenses>
<license>
<name>GNU Lesser General Public License version 2.1</name>
<url>http://www.gnu.org/licenses/lgpl.html</url>
</license>
<license>
<name>COMMON DEVELOPMENT AND DISTRIBUTION LICENSE (CDDL) Version
1.0</name>
<url>http://www.sun.com/cddl/cddl.html</url>
</license>
</licenses>
Is this acceptable practice? It still references out to an external
website but it does state the licensing within the original source code.
Cheers
James
