Description

In otel-demo, we have missed that k6 package brings problematic license in https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-demo/pull/3564

All FOSSA checks now are post-merge and working on main.

It will be great to have shared check which will be executed on every PR. It not necessary to report results to FOSSA, results should be available in the PR.

I suppose that we need a way to ignore some issues (for multi-licensed packages), but in general, it should block merge.

Research direction

Start by locating the existing post-merge FOSSA checks that work on main and identify the shared workflow entry point used for pull requests. Define how the check exposes results in each PR, blocks merging for problematic licenses, and permits explicit exceptions for multi-licensed packages.
