The "Licensed" dependency license checker tool uses the licensee tool to automatically determine the license type based
on metadata provided by the dependency author. This must be in a standardized format without any modifications. In cases
where that wasn't done, it is necessary to determine the license type and update the dependency license metadata cache in
the `.licenses` folder manually.
The Licensed tool will check this data whenever the dependency version is updated to make sure the license hasn't changed.
The `.licenses` folder contains a cache of license metadata for all the project's Go dependencies. This serves two purposes:
- Allow the Licensed dependency license checker tool to only check licenses when a dependency is added or updated
- Allow the maintainer to manually define license metadata when the licensee tool is unable to automatically detect it
