Read metadata/license.csv, the registry of dataset licenses

One row per SPDX-style id an ingest's dataset_meta.license may carry (CC-BY-4.0, CC0-1.0, CC-BY-NC-4.0, CC-BY-SA-4.0, US-PD, custom, unknown, …) with name, url, status (active | deprecated) and notes. Read strictly (na = "") and validated like every other registry: sentinel strings, an unknown status or a duplicate id are errors. custom requires a license_url on the dataset; unknown (or an empty license) fails the index unless a questions.csv row is open on it — see check_dataset_citation().
