[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Resolved: (AS7-1163) The license of JBoss AS itself is not evident in the distribution

The license of JBoss AS itself is not evident in the distribution ----------------------------------------------------------------- Key: AS7-1163 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-1163 Project: Application Server 7 Issue Type: Task Components: Build System Affects Versions: 7.0.0.CR1 Reporter: Dimitris Andreadis Assignee: Jason Greene Priority: Critical Fix For: 7.0.0.Final When looking in the distribution, it's not evident what is the license of the application server itself. We have the licenses for the various subsystems in docs/licenses and the docs/licenses/licenses.xml containing entries like <dependency> <groupId>org.jboss.as</groupId> <artifactId>jboss-as-build-config</artifactId> <version>7.0.0.CR1</version> <licenses> <license> <name>lgpl</name> <url>http://repository.jboss.org/licenses/lgpl-2.1.txt</url> </license> </licenses> </dependency> But I think we need something more explicit like we had in previous releases. Maybe a txt file LICENSE.txt either in docs/licenses, or in the top level directory.
