   There was a comment about the LICENSE file that I can't respond to now 
because it's "outdated". That's an annoying github feature, but with regards to 
removing passera from the META-INF/LICENSE file:
   
   > Why would we think runtime1-unparser doesn't need passera?
   >
   > Anyway for runtime1-layers I copied LICENSE and NOTICES from 
runtime1-unparser
   
   The LICENSE file in META-INF directory is the license information specific 
to that jar and covers only what is in that jar. Even though the jar depends on 
passera, that doesn't change the license of the jar because nothing in it is 
passera. On the other hand, the META-INF/LICENSE for daffodil-lib does need to 
mention passera and other things, because that jar actually contains the 
compiled code of passera and other things.
   
   LICENSE files only need to cover what is distributed in that bundle. That's 
why our root LICENSE file include licenses of things in our source code, the 
daffodil-cli/bin.LICENSE file covers all that plus the licenses of all our 
dependencies (since dependencies end up in the distributed tar/zip/rpm), and 
most jar LICENSE files don't have anything extra.
