docs: add license configuration examples for SDK generators
Summary
Adds documentation for how to specify a license for generated SDKs using the
metadata.licensefield. This addresses customer confusion about where to configure licenses ingenerators.yml.Changes:
license: MITexample to the top-level metadata section ingenerators-yml-reference.mdxmetadata.licenseacceptsMITorApache-2.0and populates package manifestslicense: MITexample to the Python publishing guide showing the correct placement at the generator levelReview & Testing Checklist for Human
metadata.license: MITand confirm it populates thelicensefield inpyproject.tomland adds the appropriate PyPI classifieroutput.metadata(PyPI-specific) andmetadata(general SDK metadata). Confirm this isn't confusing for usersNotes
This was a minimal change per Danny's request to "change less rather than more." The customer originally tried using
pyproject_tomlunderconfigwhich doesn't work - the correct location ismetadata.licenseat the generator level.Link to Devin run: https://app.devin.ai/sessions/62df5dfa1f934ae5b60671d82da03897
