Please provide a LICENSE file for spring-build subproject [SPR-7351]

Miguel Landaeta opened SPR-7351 and commented

The Debian Java team is preparing a package for Spring Framework 3.0.
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=575877

However, before this can be completed, all the dependences of Spring have to be packaged. In particular, we found that spring-build (http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=586523) doesn't include a file indicating the license and the copyright of this subproject.

Inspecting the source code available at https://src.springframework.org/svn/spring-build/trunk/, we found many files without a clear license, some are licensed under GPL, others are licensed under Apache 2.0, etc.

It's very important to have unambiguous copyright and license conditions for the Debian packages, otherwise they cannot be accepted and distributed.

It would be very nice if you could provide a LICENSE file in the root directory of this subproject clearly indicating the license and the copyright statements for that software.

Thanks in advance,
