See this question on stack overflow: [http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14071574/is-there-a-gradle-license-plugin-or-what-is-the-best-way-to-handle-licenses-of-d](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14071574/is-there-a-gradle-license-plugin-or-what-is-the-best-way-to-handle-licenses-of-d) With Maven, there is a way to download the licenses for all dependencies. Is there a standard way of doing this in Gradle? If not, could it be added (possibly to the Maven plugin)? ---

As I explained on Stack Overflow, there is no standard way of doing this in Gradle, unless there is a third-party plugin I’m not aware of (which is totally possible). It would definitely make a great plugin, but I don’t think it’s something that the core team will work on anytime soon. ---

thanks Peter, perhaps the gradle team will consider it for a future release then.
