+ 1 for this! 
Perhaps it would be nice for the podling to just come up with a list of all of 
the 3rd party libraries in a Jira and have a  group (possibly from legal) that 
reviews them and helps them officially construct the LICENSE/NOTICE files the 
first time around (There are usually a lot of grey areas and not an easy 
straight reference to an outdated list of approved compatible licenses).  Most 
of the committers are developers and not lawyers- so it would be nice to have 
developers do what they do best and focus on building awesome code.
