Representing all possible software release types is not practical, so standardizing on the recommended values, whenever possible, is strongly encouraged.\n\n* __major__ = A major release may contain significant changes or may introduce breaking changes.\n* __minor__ = A minor release, also known as an update, may contain a smaller number of changes than major releases.\n* __patch__ = Patch releases are typically unplanned and may resolve defects or important security issues.\n* __pre-release__ = A pre-release may include alpha, beta, or release candidates and typically have limited support. They provide the ability to preview a release prior to its general availability.\n* __internal__ = Internal releases are not for public consumption and are intended to be used exclusively by the project or manufacturer that produced it."

+                        Cryptographic assets have properties that uniquely define them and that make them actionable
+                        for further reasoning. As an example, it makes a difference if one knows the algorithm family
+                        (e.g. AES) or the specific variant or instantiation (e.g. AES-128-GCM). This is because the

+                        definition of the algorithm variant. The presence of a weak cryptographic algorithm like SHA1
+                        vs. HMAC-SHA1 also makes a difference.

+                    Declared licenses and concluded licenses represent two different stages in the
+                    licensing process within software development. Declared licenses refer to the
+                    initial intention of the software authors regarding the licensing terms under
+                    which their code is released. On the other hand, concluded licenses are the
+                    result of a comprehensive analysis of the project's codebase to identify and
+                    confirm the actual licenses of the components used, which may differ from the
+                    initially declared licenses. While declared licenses provide an upfront indication
+                    of the licensing intentions, concluded licenses offer a more thorough understanding
+                    of the actual licensing within a project, facilitating proper compliance and risk
+                    management. Observed licenses are defined in `evidence.licenses`. Observed licenses
+                    form the evidence necessary to substantiate a concluded license.

+                                        Declared licenses and concluded licenses represent two different stages in the
+                                        licensing process within software development. Declared licenses refer to the
+                                        initial intention of the software authors regarding the licensing terms under
+                                        which their code is released. On the other hand, concluded licenses are the
+                                        result of a comprehensive analysis of the project's codebase to identify and
+                                        confirm the actual licenses of the components used, which may differ from the
+                                        initially declared licenses. While declared licenses provide an upfront indication
+                                        of the licensing intentions, concluded licenses offer a more thorough understanding
+                                        of the actual licensing within a project, facilitating proper compliance and risk
+                                        management. Observed licenses are defined in `evidence.licenses`. Observed licenses
+                                        form the evidence necessary to substantiate a concluded license.
