Generated files do not need to include licence information. If you are
using RAT to check licences, you can add .rat-excludes file to exclude
those from rat check. See https://creadur.apache.org/rat/. The future
Apache Trusted Release tool will check .rat-excludes at the top level of
your source .tar.gz and will use it automatically.
