Please add the list of known licenses that Ninka is currently able to detect to the README file.

Maybe just taking those licenses from https://github.com/dmgerman/ninka/tree/master/t/data/licenses where the test reports a license to be found would be enough?

I think the only way to be 100% certain that a given license is a given licenses, without human intervention, is via a hash sum. If you're going to trust the Fossology database you pointed to, then you're likely going to be trusting Fossology for your licenses, which may not be a bad thing, but you're not necessarily explicitly trusting ninka.

I wasn't meaning to imply that I would trust Ninka (or FOSSology) in the detected license to actually be that license. I just wanted to have a list of license Ninka is capable to detected, ignoring the fact that there might be false positives or cases where Ninka does not detect a license that it theoretically knows.
