I think it's relatively common for published JARs to contain META-INF/LICENSE.md files.

So, that sounds like it might be an issue with Android Studio Koala.

Have you checked the documentation for Android Studio Koala?

I think you'll have to exclude those files similar to posted on StackOverflow.
