Open

Description

@uilianries

The Github API offers a way to detect the license listed on the repository: https://docs.github.com/en/rest/reference/licenses

We could detect it when available, and compare to the license attribute.

So far, we have been doing manually when reviewing recipes.

It won't achieve 100% of PRs, because not all projects offer a license file or are not hosted on Github, but it improve our review time.
