The author of Saxon is in a public feud with Maven. He likes to claim
that Maven publication violates his license.
If you go the route you quote, you have to publish it under your own
groupId, and not his, and not Apache's.
However, Someone published:
<dependency>
<groupId>net.sf.saxon</groupId>
<artifactId>saxon</artifactId>
<version>8.7</version>
</dependency>
and it's on central. I don't suppose that's good enough? If not, and
your other question, I recommend opening a LEGAL JIRA (which gives
clearer results in my experience than email threads on
legal-discuss@).
