Herve Boutemy commented on HTTPCLIENT-2317:
-------------------------------------------
bq. I am not really an expert of how licenses are handled in Maven
this is not "handled by Maven", but handled by a custom automation in
LICENSE.vm that tries to generate the full dependencies license in one file =
https://maven.apache.org/apache-resource-bundles/jar/
I don't have really time to dive into your precise case where the automation
does not magically get what you'd dream as a result, but this is where you'd
have to look at and improve
or just drop the automation and do the hard work by hand
> The license in the httpclient5 artifact on Maven central is not correct.

> Key: HTTPCLIENT-2317
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-2317
> Project: HttpComponents HttpClient
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 4.5.14, 5.3.1, 5.4-alpha1
> Reporter: Jan Lahoda
> Priority: Minor
>
> Looking at the 'httpclient5' artifact on Maven central, like:
> [https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/apache/httpcomponents/client5/httpclient5/5.3.1/httpclient5-5.3.1.jar]
> [https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/apache/httpcomponents/client5/httpclient5/5.4-alpha1/httpclient5-5.4-alpha1.jar]
> these contain 'mozilla/public-suffix-list.txt', which is under MPL 2.0, but
> the license file embedded in these artifacts (META-INF/LICENSE) does not
> contain the MPL 2.0.
>
> The binary file downloadable from Apache download server has the correct
> license file:
> [https://dlcdn.apache.org//httpcomponents/httpclient/binary/httpcomponents-client-5.3.1-bin.tar.gz]
>
> It would be nice if the artifacts on Maven central could have the correct
> content of the license file.
