    Description

      When looking in the distribution, it's not evident what is the license of the application server itself.

      We have the licenses for the various subsystems in docs/licenses and the docs/licenses/licenses.xml containing entries like

      <dependency>
      <groupId>org.jboss.as</groupId>
      <artifactId>jboss-as-build-config</artifactId>
      <version>7.0.0.CR1</version>
      <licenses>
      <license>
      <name>lgpl</name>
      <url>http://repository.jboss.org/licenses/lgpl-2.1.txt</url>
      </license>
      </licenses>
      </dependency>

      But I think we need something more explicit like we had in previous releases.

      Maybe a txt file LICENSE.txt either in docs/licenses, or in the top level directory.
