+      specific, concise text, identifying the technology covered by the
+      associated license(s).  It should fit naturally in the sentence "This
+      package may contain XXX."  For example, "XXX" might be "the tar command"
+      or "bzip2 compression software."  When appropriate, this may begin with

+    * com.oracle.info.tpno is the Oracle 3rd party license number.
