    When a license file is detected but the license cannot be determined, the SBOM currently omits the licenses field.

    Propose to:

    Explicitly set license to NOASSERTION (or "Unknown")
    Add an evidence entry indicating a license file was found but could not be classified

    This improves transparency and downstream compliance analysis

    For components where no license file is present, propose to:

    Set licenses to NOASSERTION or "Unknown"
    Add an evidence entry indicating that no license file was found

    This ensures transparency and supports downstream compliance checks.
