Invalid license tag #57

Description

@Finomnis

cargo-licenses does not pick up this crate's license properly because it's not a proper licence string.

/ is not a defined separator, so MIT/Apache-2.0 does not get separated.

The proper tag is MIT OR Apache-2.0 (see for example https://github.com/serde-rs/serde/blob/master/serde_core/Cargo.toml)

So when I run a license check in my CI, I get:

$ cargo-licenses check --allow MIT --allow Apache-2.0
License check failed: License check found these violations:
Crate 'ringbuf': sub-license 'MIT/Apache-2.0' is NOT in the allow list.

When I run cargo-licenses generate on my repository, I get:
