Request to add copyright information to pom.xml

[zeeneir]

Our organization requires us to record copyright information for all OpenSource library dependencies. The copyright scanner we use can extract all information from pom.xml. Therefore it would be great if you could add the copyright in the pom.xml or even have it as a separate file in your repository.

Do you have an example on how that is done in other projects?

The following content is what I'm looking for in a standalone txt file (preferably at the root, similar to license file) or in the pom file as a comment:
Copyright <start year>-<end year> <authors>.
