Hmm it's not really clear as to whether this list is a logical AND or a logical OR. The pom specification doesn't say anything about it.

I believe in our real usage we have a dependency which uses it as a logical AND for both the code license as well as embedded font licenses.

Not quite sure how to handle this universally.

Hm, according to the definition, it is OR: https://maven.apache.org/ref/3.5.4/maven-model/maven.html

If multiple licenses are listed, it is assumed that the user can select any of them, not that they must accept all.

Nice find!

Okay I can work on changing the behavior of the library this week. I'll report issues upstream to the libraries I've seen using it as an AND.
