Description

Describe the bug To generate compatible CycloneDX SBOMs we removed the license details completely. See here https://github.com/e-m-b-a/emba/blob/5cbdc191f4c19707dcec47d5652b7862b20a8a03/helpers/helpers_emba_sbom_helpers.sh#L269

We need to check for possibilities to fix and re-enable the license entries into the final SBOM

Contributor guide

Research direction
Inspect the helper script at the linked line (helpers emba sbom helpers.sh:269) to understand how licenses were removed. Research CycloneDX specification for license fields and implement a way to re add license information from detected packages into the SBOM output.
