Even though this package is licensed with MIT license. When you inspect the NuGet file in the NOTICE there is this section:

...
Notwithstanding any other terms, you may reverse engineer this software to the extent
required to debug changes to any libraries licensed under the GNU Lesser General Public License.
...

it gets flagged as using LGPL by e.g. https://github.com/clearlydefined/curated-data/,
which leads to CG alerts. For each version of this package have to be overridden there: https://github.com/clearlydefined/curated-data/blob/master/curations/nuget/nuget/-/Microsoft.VisualStudio.SolutionPersistence.yaml

possibly

generates that section

This license is not provided by the repo. We are investigating a better long-term solution as this license is used by multiple packages.
