Research direction

Start by locating where the manually applied “Open Source” tag is stored or maintained, then inspect how gameLicense and repository are represented for entries. Remove the redundant tag without losing the ability to identify OSS entries, and verify the database remains valid and consistent.

Description

api schema

Atm it's a manually applied 'Open Source' tag, I suggest we remove that, as "gameLicense" and "repository" should be enough
