Why would they have to? We don't release the complete svn trunk but
only the part of it that we want to release. Again, we have a modular
layout and we only release the modules we want to at a given time
_without_ releasing the complete trunk every time. Yes, that is more
work but we from the osgi/modular world prefer it over the problems we
get with big-bang releases.

That said, each binary artifact contains the necessary legal files and
-source.jar's are provided that contain the full source and necessary
legal files. I admit that it might take some getting used to if you
don't know maven well or are not used to modular osgi bundle releases
but please, look at the artifacts that have been released - not at the
svn trunk. We don't release the trunk, we release releases. They must
have legal files and full source and they do.

regards,

Karl
