Research direction

Start by inspecting LICENSE.TXT and the Windows-related packaging or distribution files that identify incorporated software. Determine which software and license notices are missing; the work is done when LICENSE.TXT represents all incorporated software, with the relevant validation or packaging checks still passing.
