third-party-notices

@rnx-kit/third-party-notices provides a helper library to create a third-party-notices text file based on a output bundle. It also provides a cli interface to the library for integration into build steps like just-scripts

This function will read the sourcemap file and tries to find all files that are referenced in the sourcemap by assuming that all dependencies are represented as node_modules\moduleName or node_modules\@scope\moduleName It will then look in the package.json file to see if it finds a licence claration or it will look for the file called LICENCE in the root. And aggregate all ese files in the output file.

This package works for npm, yarn and pnpm package layouts formats.
