Downgrading jars version <maven.license-plugin.version>1.20</maven.license-plugin.version> to works for me after uncommenting it. Refer here for details. Should I go ahead by downgrading version?

Looks like the active maintenance on that project is pretty poor - could you give https://github.com/mathieucarbou/license-maven-plugin a try?
