+                    Declared licenses and concluded licenses represent two different stages in the
+                    licensing process within software development. Declared licenses refer to the
+                    initial intention of the software authors regarding the licensing terms under
+                    which their code is released. On the other hand, concluded licenses are the
+                    result of a comprehensive analysis of the project's codebase to identify and
+                    confirm the actual licenses of the components used, which may differ from the
+                    initially declared licenses. While declared licenses provide an upfront indication
+                    of the licensing intentions, concluded licenses offer a more thorough understanding
+                    of the actual licensing within a project, facilitating proper compliance and risk
+                    management. Observed licenses are defined in `evidence.licenses`. Observed licenses
+                    form the evidence necessary to substantiate a concluded license.

+                                        Declared licenses and concluded licenses represent two different stages in the
+                                        licensing process within software development. Declared licenses refer to the
+                                        initial intention of the software authors regarding the licensing terms under
+                                        which their code is released. On the other hand, concluded licenses are the
+                                        result of a comprehensive analysis of the project's codebase to identify and
+                                        confirm the actual licenses of the components used, which may differ from the
+                                        initially declared licenses. While declared licenses provide an upfront indication
+                                        of the licensing intentions, concluded licenses offer a more thorough understanding
+                                        of the actual licensing within a project, facilitating proper compliance and risk
+                                        management. Observed licenses are defined in `evidence.licenses`. Observed licenses
+                                        form the evidence necessary to substantiate a concluded license.
