Description
Issue
The injector package currently uses "BSD" as the license identifier in its package metadata, which is not recognized by automated license scanning tools like osv-scanner because it's not a specific SPDX identifier. "BSD" is ambiguous as there are multiple BSD license variants (BSD-2-Clause, BSD-3-Clause, BSD-4-Clause, etc.).
Current State
$ pip show injector | grep License
License: BSDContributor guide

Research direction
Inspect the injector package metadata that produces the pip show injector license field, then run the displayed command to confirm the current value. Update the metadata to a specific SPDX identifier and verify that the package reports it instead of BSD.
