Gradle License Plugin
This plugin provides a task to generate a HTML license report based on the configuration. (eg. licenseDebugReport for all debug dependencies in an Android project).
Applying this to an Android or Java project will generate a the license file( open_source_licenses.html) in the <project>/build/reports/licenses/.
Also, for Android projects the license HTML file will be copied to <project>/src/main/assets/.
