Can you please clarify if you expect that every dependency declaration in Bazel 
should duplicate the license terms for the dependency?

In copyleft cases (which are the most important compliance cases in many 
respects) you have to provide the text of the license, so why not include all 
the license terms?

It looks like your design requires to specify each and every license terms 
individually, even though the package itself could its terms.

In my experience, package managers do a terrible job of providing correct and 
corresponding license info. I'm thinking of Maven and Yocto here, not Debian's 
APT, which does a stellar job.
