Suspend distribution of Confluence publisher plugin
jenkins-infra/helpdesk#3856 explains that the Confluence publisher plugin uses a dependency that is not open source licensed.
The Confluence publisher libraries are Atlassian licensed including:
The Atlassian license is not an open source license. Refer to https://www.atlassian.com/legal/software-license-agreement for the details of the license.
https://www.jenkins.io/project/governance/#license says that the Jenkins project requires plugins that it distributes to be open source, including their dependencies. When a closed source dependency is detected in a plugin, we suspend distribution of that plugin. If maintainers update the plugin to remove the closed source dependency, distribution can begin for the new release that removes the closed source dependency.
