Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
According to https://github.com/vmware/photon/issues/1384#issuecomment-1936841868, license for https://github.com/vmware/photon/wiki/Security-Advisories has been updated in the page.
I wanted to clarify about the json advisories present at https://packages.vmware.com/photon/photon_cve_metadata/, are they under the same license as https://github.com/vmware/photon/wiki/Security-Advisories ?
https://github.com/aboutcode-org/vulnerablecode/issues/36
git clone https://github.com/vmware/photon.wiki.git
Pro: Good license.
Cons: Does not give json advisories. It gives markdown files. Hassle to parse.
https://packages.vmware.com/photon/photon_cve_metadata/
Pro: Gives json, structured to parse
Cons: License not explicitly mentioned
Describe the solution you'd like
Kindly clarify if both https://github.com/vmware/photon/wiki/Security-Advisories and https://packages.vmware.com/photon/photon_cve_metadata/ are under the same license.
