David Crossley commented on FOR-857:
------------------------------------

For the 0.8 release we added a listing of pathnames for all licenses for 
supporting products, into the top-level LICENSE.txt file.

That was reasonably easy with 'find' because we tried to maintain a file naming 
convention following the {packageName}.license.txt pattern.

That was double-checked by searching for all jar etc packages and ensure that 
they had a matching license file.

That process needs to be repeated each at release until we get a better way.

> append license files to the top-level LICENSE.txt

> Evidently the license files for accompanying external products needs to be 
> appended after the Apache License in the top-level $FORREST_HOME/LICENSE.txt 
> rather than the current situation with scattered individual license files.
> Perhaps the current discussion on the legal-discuss mailing list will clarify
