The licences directory is a common convention across Qt and KDE projects. See examples [1], [2], [3]. The files inside that directory usually use the licence id as their filename. Listing them individually inside licence-files key is annoying but without anything no licence information is recorded for these projects. So when collecting the default license files, also collect files inside the licences directory.

changed it to use callbacks, it's easily extensible that way for future but i don't think this needs more licence file handling for a while. |
