Soren, ... but it is also perfectly fine to ship them in the same file. I think what Wookey is referring to is that GPL and LGPL licenses contain a line that says something like: 'Copyright (C) 1991, 1999 Free Software Foundation, Inc.' I believe this copyright refers to the text of the

Thanks you for the confirmation. Really appreciate it! They have added a copyright file; so it should be all good. I was likely being overly cautious and they might have been too. It tripped me up when they indicated (L)GPL might have to be treated differently, and when I looked up projects
