-----------------------------------

That's a mistake, thanks for pointing it out. It should be 2.1 I will correct our upstream now.

> 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.
