自己的项目如果包含别人的开源代码，licence文件应放在哪里

感谢邀请。
我认为你这样放是可以的。

上面@joyqi的回答，是说你自己写的软件，要开源的话，版权声明应该放在什么地方，需要指出的是，文件名不一定是license.txt，也有叫copying（mysql是这样的）、copyright、copyleft、license（无后缀）、开源协议名（xampp就是gpl.txt），甚至还有用html和pdf的。

如果你引用第三方的开源软件，版权文件可以这样放：

1. 保留第三方软件自己的目录结构，在其根目录下一般就有版权声明文件
2. 在你的软件根目录放置它的版权说明，如vemplator_license.txt
3. 如果你引用的第三方软件特别多，你也可以在你的软件根目录建一个文件夹，专门放你引用的各个开源软件的版权文件。

对开源许可证的位置倒没有什么硬性的规定，不过这么多年以来开源社区已经形成了一些自身的约定

在源代码根目录放置LICENCE.TXT文件

你去看所有的开源代码，许可证文件都会放到这个地方，而所有想找这个文件的用户，第一反应也是去这里找这个文件。而且文件名一般都是一个名为LICENCE.TXT的单一文件。

在代码文件注释中声明开源许可

这也是一个好习惯，我们在看国外的代码时，它们的头部一般会有一大段的版权声明，有的时候其长度甚至超过了代码本身，这经常遭到国人的调侃。其实这样做是非常必要的，特别是如果你的代码包括多种风格的开源许可证，那么这样可以为不同的模块分配相应的版权许可。比如一般php代码开头

                            
            

                                    
只要是可以进行分发的版权，像你这样放在第三方库的各自目录下，没问题。
                            
            

                                    
我建议你可以参考一下yii框架的做法，专门有一个目录放置版权声明。
