Hello,

If not anything else, just wanted to say thanks for this project. It is easy to use, simple, and helpful.

Just wanted to reach out with an issue observed.

I have a project, called myproject.

the project myproject is pulling some dependencies via maven. The dependencies have licenses.
the project myproject is also has a license on its own.

While running the command: mvn license:aggregate-add-third-party

I was hoping to see

the licenses of the dependent projects.
the license of myproject, the project itself.

However, I am only seeing the dependent licenses not the license of project myproject itself.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
	xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 https://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd">
	<modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
	<parent>
		<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
		<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-parent</artifactId>
		<version>3.2.5</version>
		<relativePath/> <!-- lookup parent from repository -->
	</parent>
	<groupId>com.example</groupId>
	<artifactId>myproject</artifactId>
	<version>0.0.1-SNAPSHOT</version>
	<name>myproject</name>
	<description>Demo project for Spring Boot</description>
	<properties>
		<java.version>21</java.version>
	</properties>
	<dependencies>
		<dependency>
			<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
			<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-web</artifactId>
		</dependency>

As you can see in this pom, I am pulling some external dependencies.

I also have in the root of myproject this LICENSE file:

Running the maven command, I would see:
(just copy pasting a small portion)

Lists of 63 third-party dependencies.

     (Apache License, Version 2.0) Spring AOP (org.springframework:spring-aop:6.1.6 - https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-framework)
     

but not the license of my own project.

Could you please help me on this issue?

Thank you in advanced
