Apache 2.0 usage without preservation of copyright and license notices #9422

@ataylorme

Description

@ataylorme

Describe the feature or problem you’d like to solve

The GitHub CLI makes use of packages with the Apache 2.0 license, such as cobra, but does not credit them or make the Apache 2.0 license available

Proposed solution

Proper preservation of copyright and license notices from dependencies whose licenses require it will properly inform users of the GitHub CLI, especially those creating extensions, of licensing requirements.

Additional context

Cobra is just one example, the GitHub CLI depends on many packages. While I did not audit the licenses for all of them, it should be done and any other licenses that require attribution included in a solution.
