An alternative approach would be through SBOM generation: 1. You **generate** an SBOM for your binary distribution (there is a [Gradle plugin for that](https://github.com/CycloneDX/cyclonedx-gradle-plugin)), 2. The [CycloneDX format](https://cyclonedx.org/specification/overview/) has all the data you need to determine which license applies to which component, 3. You can create a script that **generates** your licensing data. According to the [INFRA guide on licensing](https://infra.apache.org/licensing-howto.html) you don't need a file for each dependency, but you **need** to modify the **main** `LICENSE` file in your binary distribution to mention the licenses of all the bundled dependencies. Therefore the structure of your binary distribution could look like: ``` LICENSE NOTICE licenses/ Apache-2.0.txt BSD-3-Clause.txt ``` where `LICENSE` is generated and looks like: ``` <text of Apache 2.0 license> This distribution contains the following third-party: lib/accessors-smart-2.4.7.jar licensed under 'Apache-2.0'. For details see: licenses/Apache-2.0.txt lib/super-widget-1.2.3.jar licensed under 'BSD-3-Clause'. For details see: licenses/BSD-3-Clause.txt ``` -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
