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: Paul Gier
            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.
