There is no issue tree-wide, because no one else is trying to cut |
| 8 |
corners and bundle every dependency of every package. All of our |
| 9 |
dependencies are in separate packages, with separate LICENSE variables. |

So when you install one package, the LICENSE variables of all its |
| 11 |
dependencies pulled in by the package manager are indeed taken into |
| 12 |
account. That's the whole point of a package manager -- it can do these |
| 13 |
things for you if the developers do their jobs and package software |
| 14 |
correctly. |
