Description

A licenses section should be added to the velocity poms. It should look something like:

<licenses>
<license>
<name>The Apache Software License, Version 2.0</name>
<url>http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0.txt</url>
<distribution>repo</distribution>
</license>
</licenses>

The maven team is working on using that information in several plugins to help validate releases. (Example: there could be an apache validate plugin that makes sure all the licenses of dependencies are OK for apache to release)
