Description
## Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
packages manifests may declare package licenses. some license declarations are no final license texts, but templates - like "MIT".
Therefore, it is required to collect license evidences from packages. a first step would be: colect relevant files.
## Describe the solution you'd like
add a CLI flag `--gather-license-evicences` or something, and collect relevant license files.
see similar implementations:
- https://github.com/CycloneDX/cyclonedx-webpack-plugin/issues/676 & https://github.com/CycloneDX/cyclonedx-webpack-plugin/issues/1321
## Describe alternatives you've considered
-
## Additional context
composer manifests dont have a field for relevant files.so gathering the files manually would be required.
license evidences are to be not confused with declared or concluded licenses!
