CAST HIGHLIGHT - SCA - License Risk - What does “NOASSERTION Undefined" imply?

Several components have an "Undefined No Assertion" license tag in License Distribution view.

Details

 

When licenses have a “NOASSERTION” tag it means that source forges were not sure what the exact license is.
 
Please note:
Blank license = no license found
NOASSERTION = license found but not identifiable across the 360 different licenses we detect from SPDX (SPDX).
 
NOASSERTION would need a manual review as it could be a potential license risk or maybe not, the reason why we can't classify it by default as risky (red).
