I haven't bothered to count all the licences yet. The list of libraries changes over time; next month there will be more. This is a normal situation. Since all of the libraries I link to are open source, I don't really worry about it. I'm not confident that I even have a simple and reliable procedure for finding all of the licences I depend on. It might involve days of research, for all I know, since libraries depend on libraries, which depend on other libraries.

Have you tried a service like FOSSA? We used it on a project when we could use anything that wasn’t open source, we ended up having to write a library from scratch and beg a number of project owners to release their project under a open source license.
