isFsfLibre field not always present in JSON files #221

Description

@dheurtev

Issue

  • In the licenses.json file, the field "isFsfLibre" can be true, false, but if not present, the field is not present instead of being left blank
  • per the relevant section of the license-fields.md file of the XML license list
F) FSF Free/Libre?
If the license is [listed as free by the FSF](https://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.en.html), this field will indicate "Y". If the license is listed as not free by the FSF, the field will indicate "N". Otherwise, the field will be left blank.
  • To ease parsing, it would be best to normalize the data to always include the isFsfLibre field in the JSON output.

Proposed Solution

  • Best : always include the isFsfLibre field.
  • Potential : document that the FSF Free/Libre field is optional in json files.
