@eirinikos I see what you mean about `licensee` being happier with the
full-text -- it gives a 100% match as opposed to a 90-something. If it's just
the TERMS part of the Apache license we get 99% which works but as soon as we
append dependency licenses it drops to low 90's which isn't enough. However
with the full text -- even with a little bit of front-matter -- it keeps 100%
even when we append the others.
The ASF is pretty clear the dependency licenses should go in `LICENSE` so
given that the above works I think we should include licenses in the license
file, but move the informative header and dependency metadata into the NOTICE
file. I've made a sample at https://github.com/ahgittin/license-sample and it
seems to work. (Click on `LICENSE` and you see the `licensee` analysis at the
top.)
I'll take this to the Brooklyn ML (I don't think we need to bother
`legal-discuss`).
Thanks @eirinikos @dankohn and of course @geomacy .
