Combine libraries under different licenses in one product and distribute it.
What should be checked first?
Verify each exact license version, notice obligations, redistribution conditions, and compatibility with the other components.
Detailed explanation
Incorrect. A distributor cannot unilaterally replace every upstream license with MIT.
Correct. Compatibility and component-specific conditions determine whether the combination can be distributed.
Incorrect. Omitting license names can violate notice obligations.
Incorrect. Binary distribution can still trigger notice or source-provision duties.
