I've not followed this thread closely until this last paragraph and one point jumped out at me: When the license is saved in SVN, you know with absolute certainty which license legalese is associated with any given SVN revision tree and set of files. If not, you just know from some file headers that this set of files for a given revision is under license foo version bar. If that is enough, legally and for SVN archeologists, then you should not need the license file in the repos. 2c, Gary > > Stephen > > > > The value of the mrr plugin (in the light of the Apache policies) is > > that it provides the technical solution for a non-trivial task: To > > ensure that artifacts contain the required files.
