File1: ../.gradle/caches/modules-2/files-2.1/com.j256.ormlite/ormlite-core/4.48/e579bd2905d0399af5029aaaf9817d5fa0ca88a5/ormlite-core-4.48.jar  
File2: ../utils-lib/build/intermediates/bundles/default/classes.jar     
File3: ../networking-lib/build/intermediates/bundles/default/classes.jar

Answer 1

Add to build.gradle:

packagingOptions {
    exclude '**/LICENSE.txt'
    exclude 'pom.xml'
}

But you may exclude only com/j256/ormlite/core/LICENSE.txt instead all LICENSE.txt files

Answer 2

Try this

exclude 'META-INF/ASL2.0'
