Find licenses for k8s.io packages

[melinath]

go-licenses is not able to fill the "link for license file" for all go libraries, even if that package's repository is linked on pkg.go.dev and is a supported repository location. For example:

Pkg: k8s.io/utils
License link: https://github.com/kubernetes/utils/blob/master/LICENSE

Currently go-licenses is unable to discover this license link.

Note: go-licenses is able to save the license file with go-licenses save

Hi! Can you include the command you ran and the output that you got? (partial output for just the k8s.io packages would be okay)

Thanks!

IIUC, the most common reason is:

• you are using go modules
• you do not vendor your dependencies

then you will hit the "Error discovering URL" problem, because go module cache are not local git folders.

and that's the major reason I raised the v2 proposal which can handle this case properly: #70

Already implemented in #94.
Going to be released as v1.1
