   ### Search before asking
   
   - [x] I had searched in the 
[issues](https://github.com/apache/skywalking/issues?q=is%3Aissue) and found no 
similar feature requirement.
   
   
   ### Description
   
   skywalking-eyes has been great for catching license header and dependency 
issues, but there's a gap I ran into recently that I think could be a natural 
fit for the tool.
   
   In Apache Iceberg Rust, the 0.10.0 RC3 release vote failed because three 
crates were missing LICENSE and NOTICE files. The repo root had them, but the 
individual crate directories didn't, and Cargo just silently leaves them out of 
the published package. Nobody caught it until a reviewer flagged it mid-vote.
   
   This is especially painful in Rust because workspace repos tend to grow new 
crates over time, and each one needs its own LICENSE/NOTICE. It's easy to 
forget when adding a crate, and nothing in the toolchain warns you. Other 
ecosystems like npm and Python could hit the same issue in monorepo setups, but 
Rust workspaces seem to run into it the most in practice.
   
   Since eyes already covers license headers and dependency licenses, I was 
curious whether validating license file presence would be something that fits 
the project's scope. I'm not familiar enough with the codebase to have an 
opinion on how it'd work - just wanted to raise the problem and see if it's 
something worth exploring together. Happy to help with a PR if so.
   
   ### Use case
   
   As of now the core use case would be flagging in CI when a Rust workspace 
crate is missing LICENSE/NOTICE files that Cargo needs in order to include them 
in published packages.
