How about making a directory under lib called licenses that contains the
associated files? Also how about including versions in the jar file names?
In Xindice we have a directory docs/licenses that contains the licenses
for included jars. With the exception of JUnit all the Xindice jars are
under either a BSD or Apache license. JUnit is an IBM license and should
probably be removed. Adding an associated README seems like a good idea to
better document where they came from.
