feat(sbom): populate license fields from wheel metadata - #1457
The SPDX SBOM that fromager embeds in each wheel now carries license fields on both package entries (the wheel and the upstream source), taken from the built wheel's own METADATA, as agreed in #1378 (Option A):
licenseDeclared: the first source that maps to SPDX without guessing:
License-Expression, canonicalized with packaging.licenses;
license classifiers, when they name exactly one license;
free text in License, when it is a valid SPDX expression or a known spelling such as Apache 2.0.
Anything else becomes a deterministic LicenseRef-<slug>-<sha256[:8]> with a hasExtractedLicensingInfos entry quoting the declaration. LicenseRefs written by upstream get an entry too.
licenseConcluded: always NOASSERTION, because fromager does not audit licenses.
licenseComments: says the value is inherited from upstream metadata and not verified, and names the source.
Example, idna 3.6 (only the ambiguous BSD License classifier):
"licenseDeclared": "LicenseRef-license-osi-approved-bsd-license-a9d12a80",
"licenseConcluded": "NOASSERTION",
"licenseComments": "License inherited from the upstream project's declared Python package metadata (License classifiers) and not independently verified by fromager; it may be imprecise or incomplete. No unambiguous SPDX mapping for: License :: OSI Approved :: BSD License."
METADATA is parsed raw (packaging.metadata.parse_email()), so invalid upstream values never fail a build. License fields that can't be read are logged and named in the comment. A built wheel without METADATA now fails when SBOMs are enabled.
Commits:
feat(pkgmetadata): declared_license_from_raw_metadata(), which never raises and reports ambiguity instead of guessing.
feat(sbom): the SPDX fields, and reading METADATA in add_extra_metadata_to_wheels().
docs(sbom): the SbomSettings docs.
test(e2e): e2e/test_sbom_licenses.sh in the config suite.
Why
Closes: #1378. License-compliance tooling had no license data to work from, even though the wheel's METADATA declares one.
Validation
Corpus: 30 hand-picked packages with different kinds of license metadata. 28 built, and all 28 match the hand-computed expected values; numpy and pyknp failed on missing host build tools. All 96 wheels built (including dependencies) are valid SPDX 2.3.
fondue sample: a random sample of packages from the RHOAI fondue collections. 114 wheels built with no problems in any of: SPDX validation, matching fields on both packages, declared LicenseRefs, and License-Expression matching packaging's canonical form.
generate_sbom() now requires metadata. Its only caller is in fromager.
Two existing classifier mappings look questionable: AGPLv3 → AGPL-3.0-only, and zlib/libpng → zlib-acknowledgement. They predate this PR and also affect license_from_metadata_values(); I'd fix them separately.
The change reads license metadata from built wheels and uses it to populate SPDX license fields for wheel and upstream package entries. It selects among license expressions, classifiers, and free text. It records NOASSERTION conclusions and adds extracted licensing information when applicable. Unreadable license fields are reported in comments and logs. The configuration suite now runs end-to-end checks for idna and tomli. SBOM generation raises FileNotFoundError when wheel METADATA is absent.

Explanation
[#1378] The PR adds licenseDeclared, licenseConcluded: NOASSERTION, and inherited/unverified comments to both SBOM package entries. The raw-metadata parser also avoids guessing ambiguous classifiers. However, declared_license_from_raw_metadata() canonicalizes License-Expression instead of preserving it verbatim, maps valid SPDX or curated free-text values to SPDX IDs instead of recording free text as a LicenseRef, and can select free text after an ambiguous classifier. The implementation does not use License-File contents. These behaviors differ from the source handling requested in #1378.
Resolution
For #1378, preserve valid License-Expression values verbatim. Record free text and bundled License-File declarations as LicenseRefs rather than mapping free text to SPDX IDs. Preserve classifier priority when classifiers are ambiguous. Add automated tests for these cases.

I verified the key-presence checks in e2e/test_sbom_licenses.sh and the repeated-reference test in tests/test_sbom.py. I did not run the tests.
Thanks for clarifying the agreed scope for free-text mapping and License-File.
Two details still differ from #1378: ambiguous classifiers can be bypassed by free text, and valid License-Expression values are canonicalized rather than always kept verbatim. Were those deviations also agreed? If so, please update #1378 to reflect them.
The existing zlib/libpng mapping also affects the new SBOM path. Would you like me to open an issue to track its separate fix?

Add `declared_license_from_raw_metadata()`, which picks the license a
package declares in its core metadata and reports whether it maps to an
SPDX expression without guessing. Sources are tried in the order agreed
in python-wheel-build#1378: `License-Expression`, license classifiers that name exactly
one license, then free text that is a valid SPDX expression or a
curated mapping. When nothing maps, it returns the raw declaration with
`spdx=None` so the SBOM can record it as a `LicenseRef`.
SPDX expressions are validated and canonicalized with
`packaging.licenses`, the check build backends apply to
`License-Expression`. Shorthands such as `GPL` are rejected instead of
resolved to `GPL-1.0-or-later`, `WITH` misuse is rejected, and
deprecated ids are kept. It reads `RawMetadata` and never raises, so bad
upstream metadata cannot fail a build.

The embedded SPDX SBOM had no license fields. Both package entries now
carry `licenseDeclared` from the license the built wheel declares in
its own METADATA, `licenseConcluded: NOASSERTION` because fromager does
not audit licenses, and a `licenseComments` note saying the value is
inherited from upstream and not verified.
A declaration without an unambiguous SPDX id becomes a deterministic
`LicenseRef-<slug>-<hash>` with a matching `hasExtractedLicensingInfos`
entry quoting it, as agreed in python-wheel-build#1378 (Option A). LicenseRefs that come
from upstream get an entry too, so the document passes SPDX validation;
the metadata has no license text for them, so their text is
`NOASSERTION` and a comment says where they were declared.
METADATA is parsed raw so invalid upstream values cannot fail the
build. Unreadable license fields are logged and named in the comment.
A built wheel without METADATA is invalid and now fails when SBOMs are
enabled, instead of getting an SBOM that claims no license exists.

Bootstrap idna 3.6 and tomli 2.0.1 with SBOM generation enabled and
check the license fields in each embedded SBOM. idna only has the
ambiguous "BSD License" classifier and must get the `LicenseRef` with
extracted licensing info agreed in python-wheel-build#1378; tomli maps cleanly to `MIT`.
Every built wheel, including build dependencies, must also have
matching license fields on both packages, `licenseConcluded:
NOASSERTION`, and extracted info for each `LicenseRef` it uses.

Report a missing SBOM or wheel as a failure that names the wheel.
The module docstring says every failed check is reported. These three lines break that for two cases:
sbom_of: If a wheel has no fromager.spdx.json, the (name,) = [...] unpacking raises ValueError: not enough values to unpack. The message does not name the wheel.
check_idna and check_tomli: If the wheel is absent, next(downloads.glob(...)) raises a bare StopIteration.
Both abort the run with a traceback and hide the other failures. Name the wheel in the error. For example, raise a ValueError in sbom_of and use next(..., None) in the check functions.

Add a test for the unreadable-license branch.
test_generate_sbom_license_with_unparsed_field only covers a found license with unparsed_fields. The branch in _license_fields where declared is None and unparsed_fields is non-empty has no test. That branch selects _UNREADABLE_LICENSE_COMMENT instead of _NO_LICENSE_COMMENT. It also appends _UNPARSED_COMMENT. A regression there would silently report "no license information" for a wheel whose license field was unreadable.
