New license information for 17.5 million packages

We have added over 17.5 million new package licenses to our database, expanding the license coverage for packages that appear in dependency graph, dependency insights, dependency review, and a repository's software bill of materials (SBOM). Package licenses dictate how a package can be used, making them an essential aspect of compliance when working with open source software.

These licenses are sourced from ClearlyDefined, a curated data store for open source licenses.
