Finally got time to read a little about this. Since there is currently no official usage of the license tag, I think I would rather try to prompt the user like we do now in the Ant build. It looks like this might be achievable via maven-antrun-plugin.
I looked at the POMs in the link you sent. That seems pretty straightforward although Adobe might want a different groupId. But then we'd need to add the use of maven-antrun-plugin to these POMs in order to prompt for the Adobe license right?
