I'd say it depends on the license if this is necessary. Moreover I
doubt that just putting the license info into a file on the rootfs is
enough to fulfill the license requirements.

Moreover for the common licenses that come to my mind (GPL, BSD, MIT,
LGPL) this is not necessary. (But IANAL, too.)

Best regards
Uwe
