Description

I just wanted to make you aware of this project which is attempting to capture missing license information from projects.

It may be useful to add something that can pull license information from it's API to fill in gaps.

Research direction
Review the clearlydefined.io API documentation to understand how to query for license information. Examine the existing plugin code (e.g., LicenseReportTask.groovy) to identify where license data is collected and how to add a new provider. Consider implementing a new task or extending the existing report generation to include a step that fetches data from the API and merges it with local results. Check the issue comments for any additional requirements or suggestions from maintainers.
