Document license check requirement for repository publishing

[ludeeus]

Summary

Added documentation for a new license check requirement that validates repositories have a recognized open source license before publishing.

Changes

• include.md: Added new "Check license" section documenting the license validation requirement

  • Explains that GitHub detects licenses from a LICENSE file at the repository root
  • Clarifies that repositories must match a recognized SPDX template
  • Notes that repositories with no license or classified as "other" will fail the check

• action.md: Added license check to the validation checks reference table

  • Links to the new documentation section
  • Describes the check as validating the repository has a recognized open source license

Details

The license check ensures that repositories declare a valid, recognizable open source license that GitHub can automatically detect. This is a requirement for publishing and helps maintain consistency and clarity around licensing across published repositories.
