License - 301 Moved Permanently

[Anthony Whitford]

I just noticed that my generated Site isn’t properly including the MIT License.

In my pom.xml, I have:

  <licenses>
    <license>
      <name>The MIT License</name>
      <url>http://www.opensource.org/licenses/MIT</url>
      <distribution>repo</distribution>
    </license>
  </licenses>

And I also have a LICENSE file in the Project’s root.

The url is valid.  However, the generated licenses.html file shows:

Project Licenses
The MIT License
[Original text]
Copy of the license follows:

301 Moved Permanently
nginx/1.14.0 (Ubuntu)


The [Original text] link works — it points to http://www.opensource.org/licenses/MIT <http://www.opensource.org/licenses/MIT> — but the “copy of the license” is obviously not working.

Note that I am using:
• Apache Maven 3.6.3
• JDK 15.0.1
• The latest maven-project-info-reports-plugin — version 3.1.1
• running on macOS Big Sur 11.2.1

I double checked the POM documentation here: http://maven.apache.org/pom.html#licenses
However, I do not see a problem.

Do I have a problem with the pom’s license configuration?

Well, at a minimum, http:// is redirecting to https:// so that explains the
301.

Thank you Thomas — changing to https removed the 301 issue.
