Writing the plan here.

List all the third-party libraries that are present within the bundled jar.
For each dependency, determine the license type (e.g., Apache 2.0, MIT, etc.). This will be present in pom.xml or in the repositories of the dependency.
Ensure no dependencies fall under Category B or X as mentioned in ASF policy. Main concern is here for xtable-utilities jar which has bundled dependencies, classes from OpenJDK JOL are used it uses GPL-2.0 licensed. [Ref]

We will be excluding the utilities jar from xtable release, this will be a release blocker for 0.3.0
