Subject: [bug#51566] [PATCH v2] guix: import: Add more licenses and extend their detection.

From: Attila Lendvai <[email-masked]>
Date: Tue, 2 Nov 2021 11:57:29 +0100

Add a comment that mentions "MIT" so that people who grep for MIT end up there.

* guix/import/utils.scm (spdx-string->license): Identify more
licenses (CC-BY-4.0, Freetype, HPND).
---

i have deleted the problematic JSON license.

i have also opened an issue at the problematic project:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-14550
