The copyright for the bits we're bundling. See the LICENSE file I included
at the end of my email. For example:

Guava, version 12.0.1, http://code.google.com/p/guava-libraries/
Copyright 2008 Google Inc.

Is that the correct way to include the Copyright? Or is this not required?

Also, how do I know if something is a "required attributions"?
