Description
Today there are license claims that are attached directly to packages, however, there is a wider lens to consider when interpreting what a license applies to and surrounding statements of claim. Such considerations could be:
- copyright claims (as proposed in #3156)
- trademarks
These should be described alongside licenses.
[Example from debian](https://github.com/anchore/syft/pull/3156#issuecomment-2891136675)
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reviewing how Syft currently represents license claims, then read the copyright discussion in #3156 and the linked Debian example. The work is done when copyright and trademark claims have a defined representation alongside licenses, with the relevant output and behavior documented.
