Hi, Paige,

The most common apporach in the open source world is to include with
your source code a single plain text file named "COPYING.txt" that
includes the licenses from the original auhor and any subsequent
authors' licenses.

FWIW, I'm a retired lawyer but am no longer licensed to dispense legal
advice. There is very little litigation involving open source
licenses. What there is usually involves "copyleft" licenses like the
GPL that require publication of any modified source code and the main
issue is almost invariably non-publication of source code by those who
modify it. The more permissive licenses like the MIT license seldom
wind up in a court room.

Best regards,

Paul
