This would be appropriate if we were shipping sources from differently
licensed components. What we have done - I think (IANAL) - is create
*derivative works* from the original sources. Someone can correct me
if I am wrong, but I don't see how that means that we now have
"subcomponents" with separate license terms. Can someone explain this?
