There are too many things in the rules package. The expected use case is that everyone is going to by declaring a license rule, but fewer people will be using those to produce license audit or SBOMs. Most of the people who do produce an SBOM are expected to check rules_license into their repo and modify or reuse as appropriate, so having a clear separation between the packages you modify and the ones you leave alone is helpful.

This is mostly done in 0.0.7. Not closed yet until we delete all the forwarders that were left behind. That should be at 0.0.9.
