So is the omission that:

This. AFAIK the 0.9.0 release did this already correct.
OK just to be 100% clear...
We need a generic copy of the BSD license text, and a generic copy of the MIT
license text?
Just thinking these will not then include the copyright notice of the specific
code being reused. Or is that covered by the link to the original project?
Follow Ate's lead on this as he has been far more rigorous in his
checks so we'll do it his way.
Thats certainly my preferred plan.
I'm happy to sort this out - I think Paul needs a break :-)
Paul - it's a thankless task as anyone who has cut an early release
knows. Thank you for your efforts, we are almost there.
(Also: Is the "licenses" folder in trunk obsolete?)
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.
+1 I'm happy to take Ate's lead on how we do this, hence if we don't need a
/licenses I'd rather delete it than let it cause confusion.
+1 to remove the /licenses folder as we should use the Incubator release
management guidelines. Which calls for merging all 3rd party licenses into the
one LICENSE file only.
(I think Paul's proposal for how we make releases from 0.9.2 onwards should
also make things easier)
