We need to call out the specific items and not just include the boilerplate
message by the source LICENSE.
In the case of those exclusions we must note that "the project includes
<project/source> which is available under <license>" and the associated

how they are handled.
We should not have the caveats listed by the source but interpret them and
include the appropriate clauses for those items which we do include.
