the license type, such as Apache 2.0, MIT, or a proprietary license. To fix:
Ensure `name` is present and non-empty at each matching location. This rule
is evaluated at the JSONPath `$.info.license` — inspect every location it
matches and correct only what violates the rule. Make the smallest change
that satisfies the rule, leave all unrelated content, key order, comments,
and formatting unchanged, and keep the document valid OpenAPI. Return only
the complete corrected document, with no commentary."
