…ed configurationThe "Licensed" tool is used to check for incompatible licenses in the project dependencies. The tool can be configuredto ignore incompatible license types for specific dependencies. This is done by adding an entry for the dependency tothe `reviewed` entry in the "Licensed" configuration file.Such exceptions should be added only when the project maintainer has determined the following things to be true:* dependency license is not one of the standard compatible types (as defined by the `allowed` mapping in the config)* dependency license is compatible with the licensing of the project (e.g., dependency uses a non-standard but compatible license)"Licensed" uses the licensee tool to automatically determine the license type based on metadata provided by thedependency author. This metadata must be in a standardized format without any modifications. In cases where that wasn'tdone, "Licensed" will identify the license type as "other". In this case, the project maintainer must manually determinethe license type. If the license is determined to have a standard type, then the maintainer must manually set thecorrect license type in the license cache metadata for the dependency. The dependency exception system should not beused in this case.Exceptions were inappropriately set up for dependencies with compatible license types not automatically identifiable by"Licensed"/"licensee". These exceptions are hereby removed from the "Licensed" configuration file and the manuallydetermined license types defined in the license metadata cache for the dependencies.
