I understand this to be the recommended approach, but IIRC I have seen other ones, such as having the NOTICE file contain a local pointer to each license in a separate file, often named accordingly, such as license.bsd or in some cases license.foo (where foo is the component being dependent on). I also have the impression that a single LICENSE file containing all licenses with a heading of which component/part/dependency is under which license, is the only candidate for a unified approach and promoted heavily by many...
