On dunfell 3.1.1 I see this:

licenses/
└── github.com-influxdata-influxdb
     ├── generic_MIT
     ├── LICENSE
     └── recipeinfo

which is wrong, since I would need to add all the licenses of all the 
dependencies golang pulls in as well to the recipe. It's shows only the 
top level license.

In my license manifest I do have the influxdb:

tmp/deploy/licenses/image-influxdb-from-source-container-x86-64-20200629205620/license.manifest

PACKAGE NAME: github.com-influxdata-influxdb
PACKAGE VERSION: 1.8.0
RECIPE NAME: github.com-influxdata-influxdb
LICENSE: MIT
