Hi team,
Thanks for your work on this library!

I'd like to suggest a small enhancement: when serializing data to cyclonedx.model.license.DisjunctiveLicense, if unexpected keys like properties/properties are present, the serializer currently fails without a very clear message.
Cyclonedx v1.6 supports that key and so I think this also applies to the complete support of v1.6.

Thanks again!

this would be a breaking change, behavior-wise(dont fail on non-implemented properties) and API(all constructors would accept any kwarg) wise. just a remark, not a blocker.
Anyway, feel free to pull request the needed changes; this is a community project, depending on your contributions and code donations.
