Research direction
Reproduce the empty license section using the linked serde-util 0.1.0 docs.rs page, then compare its license metadata with the crates.io “non-standard” display. Trace the dropdown’s license rendering and identify how license-file crates are handled. Done means the dropdown no longer shows an empty license section for this case.
