Description

As raised by Justin Mclean:

There are some licensing issues:

• Several items [3][4][5][6] are licensed under W3C document license, this is not a category A license and looks like they can only be included in binary release [2]. (i.e. Category B but it's not listed) You may need to clarify this on legal discuss.
• Files [8][9][16][17][18][19][20] licensed under CC-BY-3 can only be included in a binary release. [10]
• I assume CC-A [11][12] would also need to be handled the same way.
• It is unclear how [13] is licensed.
• Looks like [14][15] are not licensed under a Category A license. Again probably needs to be discussed on legal discuss.

The LICENSE and NOTICE in ./taverna-tavlang-tool/src/main/resources/META-INF/ may need updating, looks like the contents don’t match the top level license and year is incorrect.
