Try running mvn:dependency-tree on any large enterprise Java project, and see what comes out. If you told me you were familiar with every single library in the output, I would not believe you.

Doesn't mvn show license information?

That's a logical fallacy called: No true Scotsman. In this case - Good developers can be good at some things but bad at other things, so there's absolutely zero correlation between "good/bad developers" and "people who remember/forget to think about licensing".
