Description

Clojars requires all new projects to include a licence name within the pom.xml file (as of 29th September 2023)

Existing projects have until the end of 2023 to include a license.

Add section on using tools.build to publish Clojure libraries to Clojars.org that supports the recent requirement to include a license.

Start with the existing documentation on publishing Clojure libraries and the pom.xml configuration used with tools.build. Review the linked Clojure reference for the required license metadata. Done means the documentation explains the tools.build publishing setup and the generated pom.xml includes a license name.
