Comment (by rbonifaz):

 Hi,

 We are creating a VoIP system called Wahay (https://wwww.wahay.org). It
 combines a local Mumble server that is publish via Tor Onion services. Any
 user can host a server and other people can join the server with the Onion
 address.

 At the moment it works in Linux and we have different ways to installed
 it. One of those ways is a Bundle that ships both Mumble and Tor binaries.
 For the Tor case we decided to extract the Tor directory inside the Tor
 Browser Bundle distribution. That directory includes Tor and some
 libraries to make Tor portable. It works pretty well in all linux
 distributions with tested so far.


 ----

 In the directory "tor-browser_en-US/Browser/TorBrowser/Tor" there are the
 following files:

 - libcrypto.so.1.1
 - libevent-2.1.so.6
 - libssl.so.1.1
 - tor

 And the following directories:
 - libstdc++
 - PluggableTransports

 ----


 In the "tor-browser_en-US/Browser/TorBrowser/Docs/Licenses" directory
 there are the following files:

 - Firefox.txt
 - HTTPS-Everywhere.txt
 - NoScript.txt
 - Noto-CJK-Font.txt
 - Noto-Fonts.txt
 - Torbutton.txt
 - Tor-Launcher.txt
 - Tor.txt

 And the directory
 - PluggableTransports


 ----
 From this, my understanding is that the licenses for the binaries and
 libraries are:

 - libcrypto.so.1.1 -> not sure
 - libevent-2.1.so.6  -> Not sure
 - libssl.so.1.1   -> There is a mention of Openssl in Tor.txt. Is that
 enough?
 - tor -> License in Tor.txt
 - libstdc++  -> Not sure
 - PluggableTransports -> Licenses in PluggableTransports directory
