I am referring to resolving dependencies of older versions from the new EE4J repository instead of resolving those dependencies from the existing projects at the JavaEE repository (or through maven). AFAIK, the absence of the entire history in the EE4J repository is the concern here. If the existing JavaEE repositories are left as is and the old dependencies continue to get resolved from the existing JavaEE repository then, I believe, it is not under the scope of the EF.
On the other hand, it would be very cumbersome to review each and every “unmodified” dependent file every time for copyright/license during every release from the EE4J repository, especially for those old versions of files that belong to existing (imported into EE4J repo) projects which are not directly part of the release. Making old code current would only be applicable if there are any changes/modifications made to the old versions (which is not likely). I am referring to the scenario where there is a future release which is published from the EE4J repository with a dependency on the old code here.

I believe this is inaccurate. Anyone can declare a dependency on an
older version of the code already as the entire history is already
published. In order to bring old code to be current, it would have to
be reviewed in the same manner as any other change. So again, AFAICT
there is no real legal issue here.
