Description

Found an interesting "what's the license?" in this project.

https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/apache/activemq/activemq-openwire-generator/5.18.2/activemq-openwire-generator-5.18.2.pom

That component is still getting released regularly. It depends on "org.codehaus.gram-1.1". Which is....old. And also without clear license, and no source code available. It looks like it's a bit of flotsam that happened during Groovy's early years and if any of it has survived, it has morphed into something else.

I don't see the source using it. The jar itself only contains:

     3537  10-03-2005 10:01   org/codehaus/gram/Gram.class
     1864  10-03-2005 10:01   org/codehaus/gram/GramModule.class
     2875  10-03-2005 10:01   org/codehaus/gram/GramSupport.class
     4467  10-03-2005 10:01   org/codehaus/gram/GramTask.class
     3318  10-03-2005 10:01   org/codehaus/gram/hibernate/ColumnInfo.class
     2275  10-03-2005 10:01   org/codehaus/gram/hibernate/HibernateSupport.class

Though reading #OPENWIRE-46; it sounds like this entire repo may want to go. If so...why is this still being released as an artifact?
