Licensecheck cannot meaningfully process binary files. It can try plow

There are plans for future support for extracting metadata from specific

Until implemented, you will need to ensure that licensecheck is fed

Thanks for the quick reply!
licensecheck is used in FedoraReview, where it is run on all files. I'll
create an issue about this.
Kind regards,
