How about put all licenses in one big single file? httpd-2.0 does that this way.
http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/httpd-2.0/LICENSE?rev=1.5&content-type=tex t/vnd.viewcvs-markup If I make the software that depends on cocoon, I can just include this big license file instead of a bunch of these. Of course, big license file has _scalability_ problem. i.e. You have to edit the file if you add new software in cocoon.
