Is your suggested feature related to a problem? Please describe.

Currently, modrinth only allows mod developers to choose single license to display on a mods page. However, some mods use different license for different parts of the project. For example, the source code may be licensed under MIT, while the included art or texture licensed as ARR.

This would help display the correct license used by the mod more clearly. With the current workaround of using custom license entry, the actual license is not displayed directly on the project page. This can also lead to users mistakenly assuming that the mod does not use an OSS license, even when its source code is licensed under one.

Adding multiple license entry would make the licensing information more accurate for the users.

Describe the solution you'd like

Allow multiple licenses to be used for a mod (for the default license category) that uses different license for some part in the mod.
For custom license such as polyform and others, it can use the current feature.
