Adding licenses of dependencies and their dependencies(transitive dep)

Third party license file

Table of contents

Overview

We have a ThirdPartyLicense.txt file on main page, which consist all the licenses of direct and indirect dependencies, used in patternscape project. In order to generate or update this file we have written a script called "thirdPartyLicense.js". It creates a graph of all direct and indirect dependencies and fetch their licenses. Then all the licenses are listed in a file with repository, author and package names. If any package license is not found then empty space is left for it, so we can update it manually.
