Herve Boutemy commented on HTTPCLIENT-2317:
-------------------------------------------
bq. do you consider the plain ASL wrong here?
thinking twice, no: changing the license stated in pom.xml would be more like a
hack
now I see that the solution proposed by Michael is the best one = define a
dependency, that really conveys the right semantics = import an external
content to the binary, with the impact of doing so in terms of license of the
binary, but not the source
> 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.
