ClearlyDefined not using LicenseRef-scancode-chillicream-1.0

[ariel11]

Instead of using the correct LicenseRef-scancode-chillicream-1.0, ClearlyDefined is putting:

• "Elastic-2.0 AND LicenseRef-scancode-unknown-license-reference," or
• "Elastic-2.0 AND NOASSERTION."

Unfortunately, these are both wrong. This is not the Elastic-2.0 license, as a key license limitation is missing. The LICENSE file is a match for LicenseRef-scancode-chillicream-1.0.

I submitted a curation for v20.0.2, though had to first curate "OTHER" and then edit the yaml file, as the UI was not allowing me to curate a LicenseRef - clearlydefined/curated-data#29191. Will curation support for LicenseRefs be added?

To add to this, when I run the v32.3.0, the result I get is LicenseRef-scancode-proprietary-license. Here is my scan result.

I also noticed the text in https://scancode-licensedb.aboutcode.org/chillicream-1.0.html is missing the text below, even though it is in the license:

## Acceptance

By using the software, you agree to all of the terms and conditions below.

@capfei @ariel11 thanks for the report!

This text was first added at https://github.com/aboutcode-org/scancode-toolkit/blob/develop/src/licensedcode/data/rules/proprietary-license_1023.RULE and then as license shortly afterwards with #3733, but the proprietary rule was never deprecated while adding the license proper, hence this detection bug. This should be fixed with a rule deprecation and a couple of other rules.
