Description

in this comment @briansmith mentions that docs.rs isn't following licenses properly.

https://github.com/briansmith/ring/blob/master/LICENSE is *ring*'s license.

I would imagine that it'd be a good idea to turn off generation for any crate that has something like this in its Cargo.toml.

Research direction

Trace how docs.rs decides whether to generate documentation from Cargo.toml license metadata; done means crates with incompatible licensing metadata are handled according to the project's licensing policy.
