Describe the bug

The license on duck.dae is wrong and the original license is not respected.

Duck.dae is an ascii file that contains its own license, visible here:
https://github.com/assimp/assimp/blob/master/test/models/Collada/duck.dae

It is under the SCEA license https://spdx.org/licenses/SCEA.html

It is perfectly fine to redistribute this file as this license is even less restrictive than BSD-3 license, however, the license should be respected and the SCEA license should be included somewhere easier to find when cloning/downloading assimp.

I assume other related files (duck.zea and duckCM.tga) are also under this license.

This was reported on F3D project by a debian maintainer.

f3d-app/f3d#531

The SCEA license is part of the file duck.dae .It is mentioned in the licence tags directly used in the file. So how do we need to deal with this?

Adding a license.md in the folder listing files with specific licenses comes to mind.
