Description
The current license detection is not perfect and may miss many licenses within the ecosystem. In the past I used to run scanner for thousands of packages with https://github.com/fraxken/nsf-nodesecure
My idea on this topic is to re-analyze real-ecosystem cases and use them to improve detection / the implementation.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the scanner's current license-detection implementation and compare its behavior with real ecosystem cases from the NodeSecure scanner workflow. The issue points to fraxken/nsf-nodesecure as a source for prior scanning experience. Done should mean broader, validated license detection, but the target cases and implementation entry points are not specified.
