When metadata for a package is being added, the information from the 'Copyright' field is being populated into the license. However, a copyright is not a license for use, and this information should be put into the Copyright key of the manifest instead. Many users submitting packages to the community repository have simply accepted the suggested value by wingetcreate rather than modifying it to be the actual license.
Unless the license can be definitively determined, it should be left for the user to populate.
Steps to reproduce
Run wingetcreate new http://anywhere.webrootcloudav.com/zerol/wsasme.exe and enter all the way through to the "License" metadata section; Note - this package already exists in the community repo, but I'm using it for the purposes of recreating the issue.
