Use of licenseMergesUrl in multi-module projects
I have a few large multi-module projects, where I'd like to report on the 3rd-party licenses being used. I use mvn license:aggregate-add-third-party license:aggregate-third-party-report for that.
From debugging I noticed that the forked add-third-party goal (on the submodule) does not have access to the licenseMergesUrl parameter. I would expect the AddThirdPartyMojo#initFromMojo() to copy it, but it doesn't.
Is this expected/desired behaviour? If not, I'd be happy to provide a little patch.
@mthmulders Just in case: you don't happen to have any additional insights? In #407 I'm trying to track down similar problems I have with configuring aggregate-add-third-party against urls but apparently I'm getting nowhere (sadly my problems happen in a rather huge project, which makes things a little complicated)
I haven't touched this issue since I reported it. My observations were also on a very large project, which also happens to be closed-source, and I don't have access to that codebase anymore.
I've forwarded your comment to somebody who (as far as I know) is still working on that project.

That's great, thank you!

That person is also no longer working on that project. I'm not involved with the organisation anymore so I don't know if the topic is still relevant to them.
Thanks anyway for asking
