Tip for creating aggregated license listing from multiple projects

Let's say you have multiple projects sharing the same, common libraries. You would like to create an aggregated list of dependencies with their licenses. The way to do that is just setting up new node project with npm init and installing all your projects as a dependencies to it. The legal-eagle goes recursive through dependency dependencies so at the end you will see listing of all libraries used in your project(s).
