Add the Clearthought Software License [License is not being detected]

[carolinamarc]

Description

When scanning the component table-layout:4.3.0 (details below), we experience the following:
The github source is real, accessible. The path and revision tag are accurate.
Copyright found, that's OK.
But not a single item appears in the license list.
However, scanner should find the license file (see at the linked URL).

The license is unique, I haven't seen it before, it's not even in the general opensource list.
"The Clearthought Software License, Version 2.0"
But the scanner should find it as commercial/proprietary or unknown type.

How To Reproduce

git repo: https://github.com/nerro/table-layout/tree/v4.3.0/
licence [file:[] https://github.com/nerro/table-layout/blob/v4.3.0/src/main/resources/META-INF/LICENCE]

System configuration

*Which version of ScanCode.io are you running? 32.2.1
*Are you running the app using Docker? yes

Expected behavior

Expect to appear license list content

@carolinamarc Thanks.
Just curious: what tool did you use to image above?

When I scan https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nerro/table-layout/refs/tags/v4.3.0/src/main/resources/META-INF/LICENCE I get this:

This is not perfect, but there is something at least. .... this is a new License
(attached for reference:
LICENCE.txt

[carolinamarc]

It's an UI we are using to manage the licenses.
Thanks for sharing the attached license! Just wondering, would it be possible to add it to the ScanCode database?

Thank you.

[pombredanne]

@DennisClark FYI https://github.com/nerro/table-layout/blob/v4.3.0/src/main/resources/META-INF/LICENCE
@carolinamarc you are also welcome if you want to get a stab at adding the license, this is straightfoward

[DennisClark]

new license work-in-progress ...

[DennisClark]

new license LicenseRef-scancode-clearthought-2.0 created in DejaCode enterprise and public. Proprietary Free. @AyanSinhaMahapatra please synchronize when you have time, thanks.
