The Aspose.Words Maven artifact pom.xml still references the outdated EULA URL https://company.aspose.com/legal/eula, whose DNS entry no longer exists. This breaks automated tooling (such as license-maven-plugin) that aggregates third‑party license texts based on the license URL declared in the POM. The expected result is that the POM should reference a valid, working, and stable URL for the Aspose.Words EULA (or official license page) so that automated tools can reliably retrieve the license text.

You’re seeing that the Aspose.Words Maven POM currently contains a dead EULA URL:
<license>
<name>Aspose EULA</name>
<url></url>
</license>
This URL no longer resolves [1]. The POM does not provide an alternative, working link to the Aspose.Words EULA or license page.
What you can do
- Raise the issue on the Aspose forum (the thread you referenced) so the artifact can be updated with a valid URL.
- In the meantime, if your build tools require a reachable license URL, you can override the
<license> entry in your own pom.xml with a temporary, accessible page that contains the EULA text.
- Once Aspose publishes the correct URL, replace the temporary one with the official link.
If you need further assistance, let us know and we’ll continue the discussion here.
