maven report on licenses your project depends on

Also take a look at License Maven Plugin . The license:add-third-party goal can be used to create a list of licenses associated with each dependency. The goal also provides functionality to allow you specify information about missing licenses.

The Maven Project Info Reports Plugin can be used to generate a Project Dependencies report that lists all dependencies and also groups them by licenses.

The project-info-reports:dependencies goal can be used to generate an individual report but it should be used as a Maven report and is actually provided by default (see Configuring Reports) when generating the site for the project in the test scope.

For an example, have a look at the Licenses of the Project Dependencies of the Maven Site Plugin.
