Follow Ate's lead on this as he has been far more rigorous in his
checks so we'll do it his way.

Paul - it's a thankless task as anyone who has cut an early release
knows. Thank you for your efforts, we are almost there.

My own preferred way of doing licence management is to have a file in
the licences folder with the name of the library it applies to (e.g.
"FooBar_license.txt") this means that to do an audit you just count
the number of files in that directory and compare it with the number
of third party libraries. NOTICE simply requires a reference to each
third party library that requires an entry (not all do).

However, under Ate's guidance we seem to have gone in a different
direction. As I mention above, it's best to follow his lead here as he
is clearly putting a great deal of effort into checking releases for
us.
