Description

PomModuleDescriptorParser Line 167 only uses the license information from the current pom mdBuilder.setLicenses(domReader.getLicenses()); The parent is being parsed, so it should be easy to include info from it.

About half of libraries used in my projects set the license info on their parent pom, so I don't get any license info returned. A few examples from my project include Jackson, Dropwizard Metrics, Amazon AWS SDK, Google Guava, Apache Commons, Lucene, Jetty, Selenium, Slf4j.
