Description

Hello,

Library manager should display license for each library.
Ideally we should find SPDX identifier https://spdx.org/licenses/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_Package_Data_Exchange for each library that can be installed using Arduino IDE.

I didn't find in
https://github.com/arduino/Arduino/wiki/Arduino-IDE-1.5:-Library-specification
anything related to license

Kind regards

Research direction

Begin in the Arduino IDE Library manager and compare its metadata handling with the linked Arduino IDE 1.5 Library specification. Determine how an installable library’s SPDX identifier is supplied, then verify that the manager displays the license for each library.
