If my app uses library A – GNU license, library B – BSD license and library C – MIT license, and I want to pack these libraries together with my app in one zip file, what is the preferred way to mention the licenses? Do I write a license.txt that is a list of the three libraries and their respective license texts?
It’s common you create a file called COPYING containing the packages licensing first and then you list those parts you use (this software contains components under their own license). Exemplary I find the Licenses compiled by The XFree86 Project, could give some inspiration. Additionally there is Maintaining Permissive-Licensed Files in a GPL-Licensed Project: Guidelines for Developers.
