Include copyright notices
Would it make sense to also include any NOTICE found in packages? This is something that go-licenses
can do https://github.com/google/go-licenses/blob/5b654af5dcd3ef8090baaceae6009c20d75a87e8/save.go#L109
I'm guessing this is with some auditing type requirement in mind? So essentially just identify where these copyright notices are included, but not actually run any specific checks over them?
Correct. I think lichen
can detect what type of license a library has and fulfill its requirements, e.g. copy license, copyright notice, source code, etc.
Ideal state for json output: it already does licenses just fine, it could include contents of any copyright notices, and could potentially point to needing to copy entire source directory for a dependency.
