Everyone has the right to license their code in the preferred way. In
this case , they put the LICENSE file directly in the root of their
project:
http://jrpm.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/jrpm/trunk/LICENSE.txt?revision=2&view=markup
I did not check it, but probably they put it in every package they release.

The presence of the LICENSE file is already a statement.

Since I'm a bit more pedantic, the v1.1 of the license is Apache
Software License :-D
