Research direction

Start by reading core/src/main/scala/org/typelevel/sbt/TypelevelPlugin.scala around the current licenses default. Trace how the plugin reads project files and assigns the setting; done means LICENSE and LICENSE.txt are detected and the setting no longer defaults to Apache when one is present.
