 IMO it's not *that* difficult to be complete. Licensecheck reports the
following (after pruning a bunch of irrelevant or wrong hits):

LIBKRB5_LICENSE = MIT, NTP, MIT-CMU, BSD-2-Clause, BSD-3-Clause, BSD-4-Clause, ISC


 BTW, for some reason licensecheck seems to identify MIT as "Expat licence"...
