Track source of license information provided by License Scanning
Release notes
Problem to solve
When scanning project dependencies, information on licenses might come from:
- package registry, like npmjs.com
- package metadata, like package.json
- package files, like a
LICENSE.mdfile
As a user, I might want to know where a license reported by License Scanning was detected, so that I can double check the information.
Proposal
- Change License Scanning to report where license information was detected
- Change the GitLab UI to show that information
