描述

Some of the third party libraries that Envoy uses have license terms that demand that the copyright or the license itself is included in the software and/or documentation.

For example, the nghttp2 library uses the MIT license. It contains this sentence: "Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining a copy of this software and associated documentation files (the "Software"), to [...], subject to the following conditions: The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in all copies or substantial portions of the Software."

How does Envoy comply with this legal requirement?

I think the copyright notice and the license of nghttp2 (and other third-party libraries) should appear somewhere in Envoy's documentation. There is already a table that lists all third-party libraries. A similar table that contains a list of the external dependencies, their licenses and (if necessary) also the complete license texts would solve this problem.
