You're way, way, way too late to ask for that. This has been our
policy for 20+ years, for the reason I described here and have
described previously when people have asked.
If the Eclipse policy is that "products" (e.g., jar files) MUST NOT
include the text of the license, we'll need to update all projects
for the next release. If the policy is somehow specific to
javadocs, or somehow specific to the EFSL, we'll need to adjust
accordingly.

Please do include the text of the license with the
Javadoc.

I can't speak for Eclipse legal, but
for Sun/Oracle legal it was always critical to include the
license in the "product". Otherwise the license could (in
theory) change after you downloaded and started using the
product. That's why we always included the license in the
javadoc bundle. (Obviously that doesn't solve the problem
if you're viewing the javadocs on the jakarta.ee web site.)
Even if the license weren't included, the footer should
definitely link to the license.

In reviewing the BV javadocs, the
footer statement is correct, but there is no link to an
EFSL license file and there is no EFSL license content in
the apidocs tree. Is there a requirement to have a link to
a local file? Could we just be using a common external
link to the https://www.eclipse.org/legal/efsl.php page?
