#4611 closed enhancement (fixed)

Update LICENSE.TXT to include internal dependencies

Description

LICENSE.TXT does not include references to files which have different licenses or copyright requirements introduced "lately". For example:

  • liblwgeom/lwrandom.c
  • liblwgeom/lookup3.c
  • deps/uthash
  • deps/wagyu

Eventhough I don't think we are doing anything wrong since those licenses / requirements are compatible with our source distribution, packages might as the notices are stripped away during compilation.

Although not all licenses require keeping the notices in binary distribution, I think it's best to be transparent and ensure everything is listed in the LICENSE file.
