Ensure all the licenses at https://github.com/ifrOSS/Lizenzcenter are detected correctly

See https://github.com/ifrOSS/Lizenzcenter
We should have a lot of them, but we would need to ensure we have all of them.

@hamzam1997 sorry for the late reply. That's very useful feedback.

[LeChasseur]

Where can I find a list of the detected licenses by Scancode and how to add licenses which are not in the list? Sorry for stupid questions of a non-developer.

[pombredanne]

@LeChasseur You can find these here: https://github.com/nexB/scancode-toolkit/tree/develop/src/licensedcode/data/licenses

For each license there is a pair of files:

1. a file with a .LICENSE extension that contains its text
2. a file with a .yml extension that contains data about that lincese (key, name, SPDX, URL, etc)

There are about 1500 of these. And there are more than this number that are effectively detected because there are some license that would be detected as unknown, free-unknown or unknown-license-reference if unknown; or other-permissive or other-copyleft for rather rare permissive or copyleft licenses not frequent enough to be granted their own license key.

To make these more visible I think that there is a pending ticket to move these in a separate repository. #477
