It doesn't matter to me whether you: a) copy all third-party licenses text directly into the LICENSE file (the messiest option), or b) list the name of all licenses and point to each of them (see what James is doing for this option: http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/james/server/trunk/LICENSE.txt), or c) put a single sentence at the top of bottom of the LICENSE file that refers to a separate file with a list of all third-party licenses (this sounds closest to what you've suggested below).
Any of those options are fine, as long as someone reading the LICENSE file can find all the applicable licenses without having to try to dig through every directory in the entire distro. Make sense? Cliff On 8/11/06, Nolan, Edell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hi, Ok - how about we come up with a third party licenses file in which we list all third party licenses. Does this sound reasonable ?

The NOTICE file is only used for copyright/attribution statements that are required to be included with any distribution.
