@mp911de noticed that we don't include license/notice files inside our JARs whereas Spring Framework does. We do have copyright on each file and a license in our POM but we should consider if we also want to include it in the shipped JARs.

As per the Apache license, the original binaries seem not to be required to include license/notice. The requirement comes from redistributing these binaries, so the redistributor needs to include these files. Having license/notice packaged would make it easier to redistribute Spring Boot jars.

Hi, @philwebb. I'm candidating myself to deal with this issue. If it's okay, what files are to be changed? For now, I suppose to be a packaging issue, so it's related to Maven files.

@wagnerluis1982 We'd need to find a way to add the file when the jars are build (we don't want to manually add a file to each project). One reason we pushed this issue back is we may work on some build improvements that might change the way this can be fixed.

Do you mean something like the following? https://www.mojohaus.org/license-maven-plugin/update-project-license-mojo.html
