Package: licensecheck Version: 3.0.29-1 Dear Maintainer,
the attached file is reported by licensecheck as follows: /tmp/dns.h: MPL GPL (v2 or later) (with incorrect FSF address) But the only line in which the string "MPL" appears is this line: #define DNS_SE_CHK_NOTIMPL 0x0008 (The original example with which I ran into that issue is https://github.com/gamelinux/passivedns/blob/master/src/dns.h) Please check at least that MPL is matched as word and not as simple substring, i.e. "\bMPL\b" or similar. But preferable the check should be still a little bit more sophisticated than that. -- System Information: Debian Release: 9.0 APT prefers testing-debug APT policy: (500, 'testing-debug'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.9.0-2-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: sysvinit (via /sbin/init) Versions of packages licensecheck depends on: ii libgetopt-long-descriptive-perl 0.100-1 ii libmoo-perl 2.002005-1 ii libnamespace-clean-perl 0.27-1 ii libpath-iterator-rule-perl 1.009-1 ii libpath-tiny-perl 0.100-1 ii libpod-constants-perl 0.19-1 ii libscalar-list-utils-perl 1:1.47-1 ii libsort-key-perl 1.33-1+b3 ii libstrictures-perl 2.000003-1 ii libstring-copyright-perl 0.003005-1 ii libstring-escape-perl 2010.002-1 ii libtry-tiny-perl 0.28-1 ii perl 5.24.1-2 ii perl-base [libscalar-list-utils-perl] 5.24.1-2 ii perl-modules-5.24 [libexperimental-perl] 5.24.1-2 Versions of packages licensecheck recommends: ii bash-completion 1:2.1-4.3 licensecheck suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
