Knowing that any software author can write its own license, what algorithm do you propose to check the "correctness" of a license ? For well known licenses like GPL-*, dpkg model could check if the license text matches the one proposed by default. But I don't like this idea, because the text can change over time without rendering old text wrong. So we could get a lot of false positive for no added value. > and it's not indented correctly. AFAIK, this indentation does respect the Description format documented there: http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-controlfields#s-f-Description Did I miss something ?
