Description

ClearlyDefined added support for LicenseRefs. Scancode is the only source at the moment that produces LicenseRefs that are used. I'm seeing a few results that are unexpected. Can you provide information on the following LicenseRefs? (_selected out a few, there may be others that are similar_)

Not in the list of [scancode-licensedb](https://scancode-licensedb.aboutcode.org/)...

* LicenseRef-LICENSE
* LicenseRef-LICENSE.md
* LicenseRef-Unspecified

In the list of scancode-licensedb, but appear to be catch alls...

* LicenseRef-scancode-commercial-license
* LicenseRef-scancode-free-unknown
* LicenseRef-scancode-generic-export-compliance
* LicenseRef-scancode-generic-cla
* LicenseRef-scancode-proprietary-license
* LicenseRef-scancode-unknown-license-reference (_this appears a lot_)
* LicenseRef-scancode-unknown
