Some of the software distributed in GNURadio.app does not follow normal build system conventions (e.g. autotools, or cmake) so it may be possible that we have forgotten to manually include some software licenses along with binaries that are shipped. If the software does not contain a text file including its software license, but that can be obtained elsewhere, make a text file manually (e.g. with a patch).

Additional software licenses should be installed to ${INSTALL_DIR}/usr/share/${foo}/LICENSE

At some point, I will do a license audit. It would be wise to make the various licenses much more obvious to the end-user by putting them not only in ${INSTALL_DIR}/usr/share, but also by creating a separate directory in the DMG that contains all of the relevant licenses.

I'd prefer not to impose an installer-type application that requires that the user accept each license, but eventually that might be a direction.
