Integrate with github license detection
Who is this for and what problem do they have today?
End users who want to possibly use this for non-personal projects
What would you like fixed in or added to the documentation?
Add a clearly defined license
Is this a new feature or a gap in the documentation?
Gap in documentation.
Additional notes
Open source licenses can make a project an immediate "no-go" decision for corporate use, transparency on this can help adoptions and tough discussions later down the line
The licenses/ directory contains information on licensing.

The documentation has a page on licensing here: https://docs.redpanda.com/docs/platform/introduction/licenses/
Perhaps we need to make that easier to find? Where were you looking?
Odd, normally it is on the right side of the repo, under "about" and above "releases"
Perhaps GitHub didn't pick it up for some reason

Hmm, I think github license stuff isn't smart enough to express our licensing (which is a mixture of BSL and RCL).
