You are the man Paul!  My directory is so huge (multiple images for many
boards) that I never paid attention to those.  There is a license.manifest
and package.manifest.  The package file isn't too interesting as it is
missing the version info. but the license.manifest is gold!

Now if I could automate collecting the license info for just the packages
in that license.manifest I'd really be set.  I think that's possible too I
just need to spend more time in that section you pointed out in the manual.

But yes, that will do for now!  I wonder now how long these have been being
generated and sitting there all along and I just didn't realise it!  :(

Regards,

Brian
