ah cool. Good to know and thanks for doing this. You could make it a
bit more userfriendly though by grouping files with equal license
texts. E.g. 

        path/to/file1 1), or 2)
        path/to/file2 3)

        path/to/file3
        path/to/file4 1)
        ....

and at the end of the file

1) GPL v2
2) BSD 3-clause
3) Android License
