Show detected licenses with their URLs
What does this MR do and why?
Describe in detail what your merge request does and why.
With the introduction of the License Scanning SBOM Scanner, the License Compliance
and Dependency List
no longer provide links to the detected licenses. As we don't have links we just generate a link to SPDX
catalogue and this is a working solution as the licenses that we have in GitLab License database all have SPDX
id
.
Note: in rare case of a custom id license, the link will be incorrect, and we're planning to address it in Generate accurate URL for detected licenses (#410389). This is a rare case and we (as Composition Analysis group) think that it's a good way to iterate.
