Read my response again. I think that you may be
seeing a "not" that's not there.
I'm pretty sure that we're giving the same answer.

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?
