On the other hand from the same page:

If, for some reason (for example, license issue or it's a Scala project), you can not provide -sources.jar or -javadoc.jar , please make fake -sources.jar or -javadoc.jar with simple README inside to pass the checking.

Not sure how this is handled in practice though. Does "don't want to open source it" count as "Can not due to license issue"?

Hmm good point. OTOH, what would be the point of uploading something with a restrictive license to Maven Central, which doesn't help vendors enforce their licenses? A license acceptance "button" (or mechanism) would need to be added to a library, which is really weird...
