+# Generate license files for all platform/arch combinations.
+# This script handles architecture-specific dependency differences by:
+# 1. Generating separate license reports per GOOS/GOARCH combination
+# 2. Grouping identical reports together (comma-separated arch names)
+# 3. Creating an index at the top of each platform file
+# 4. Copying all license files to third-party/
+#
+# Note: third-party/ is a union of all license files across all architectures.
+# This means that license files for dependencies present in only some architectures
+# may still appear in third-party/. This is intentional and ensures compliance.
+#
+# Note: we ignore warnings because we want the command to succeed, however the output should be checked
+#       for any new warnings, and potentially we may need to add license information.
+#
+#       Normally these warnings are packages containing non go code, which may or may not require explicit attribution,
