It presents a typical ecosystem, discusses the flow of a facts file within it and the offers some observations.

 <p><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Times New Roman;">Company B wants to create a single attribution document for their release. In this example that is somewhat of a trivial exercise. In reality they need to mash 30-40+ packages in a consumer product of any size. If the various fact files they want to mash are under different and potentially incompatible licenses this may hamper their ability to do so.</span></p>

-<p><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Times New Roman;">In large distributions where some projects assemble other open source it seems reasonable that a package facts would follow the packages they bundle like they did in this example of The Project using the one from Library A.
