Package: licenserecon
Version: 15.0
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected]
When run against the Forky version of upgrade-system, licenserecon incorrectly
finds a license mismatch on only one of 4 files with the exact same
SPDX-License-Identifier. Additionally, licensecheck declares GPL-2 on all 4,
instead of the expected GPL-2+.
