> Drools and jBPM are ASL licensed and therefor can't really depend on LGPL licensed software :(
> That includes the parent poms, so the jboss-parent can't be only LGPL licensed.
> Option 1: Add the ASL license to make it dual licensed under LGPL and ASL:
> {code}
>     <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>
> {code}
> Note: a pom that inherits from the jboss-parent pom and specifies a license, only has it's own license (try yourself with "mvn help:effective-pom".
> Option 2: Only use an ASL license, because LGPL can use ASL (and not the other way around).
> Option 3: Only use a BSD license, because LGPL and ASL can use that.
> Note: you need to specify a license so <distribution>repo</distribution> can be set.
> Seperate issue: add <distribution>repo</distribution> to whichever licence it uses.
