Constantino Cronemberger commented on MPIR-313:
-----------------------------------------------
I will first add this comment here and then post a question in the
us...@maven.apache.org list.
My case is: we had a project that is an internal lib to be used across the
company and somebody created the license entry in the pom without name and url,
just some comments. This was not a problem because we were not generating a
site.
Then I started to work on this project to generate a site and it took me a
really long time to find out that the problem was in the fact that name and url
were missing.
At the end I still don't have a valid URL, so I am using something like
"http://TODO"; just to get the site generated, but maybe for an artifact that is
not supposed to be disclosed we could have an option to quickly say that it is
for internal use only.
> url and name are mandatory for a license but this is not validated
