In order for us to distribute fully clean copies of ActiveMath, we need to distribute the license of each third-party jar included.
A first step has been done in dependency.xml files and DocumentThirdParty.jelly but the results are not completely practical. Ideally, a single file which contains all the licenses should be produced.

Please assign... I sadly don't have time for it now and am using
a manually modified version of the third-party directory...

First documentation step is done.
Two more steps would be:

merging all licenses (and licensors) into one for one easy (overviewable!) set of third-party licenses
clean-up (strongly) the jelly script getting rid of the bsh bit and the xsl bit.
But that fixes the documentation for now.

Postponing the rest for beta-4.

For 1.0?

I'm afraid this is needed for 1.0 but I may be wrong.
Do you have an issue about the lawyer's third-party issues ?

Among the extra things that need to be produced, we need to:

have links to the jar
present whether there are modifications in the third-party and, if yes, document them and link to the "patch" (or so)
have a link to a "screenshot of the download" for etchy licenses such as sun downloads

Not really. The result of the last talk with Till Jäger was ~~AMATH-898~~.

Ah yes, and ~~AMATH-648~~ is required by law...

I have finally got around into cleaning up this.
I believe the only bit would be cosmetic and navigation enhancements but that'll be later.
