[openstack-dev] Storing license information in openstack/requirements

Hi everyone,

A year ago there was a discussion about doing a license inventory on
OpenStack dependencies, to check that they are compatible with our own
license and make sure any addition gets a proper license check.

Back then I proposed to leverage the openstack/requirements repository
to store that information, but that repository was still science-fiction
at that time. Now that it's complete and functional, I guess it's time
to revisit the idea.

Should we store licensing information as a comment in the *-requirements
files ? Can it be stored on the same line ? Something like:

oslo.messaging>=1.3.0a4  # Apache-2.0
