These were the originally reported problems:
broadcom-sta-dkms.metainfo.xml
E: broadcom-sta-dkms:3: cid-is-not-rdns broadcom-sta-dkms
I: broadcom-sta-dkms:3: cid-contains-hyphen broadcom-sta-dkms
E: broadcom-sta-dkms:4: metadata-license-invalid PD
✘ Validation failed: errors: 2, infos: 1, pedantic: 1
And this is the patch to fix it. The ID and file should avoid '-', and
need to list a acceptable license. I propose MIT, but there are more PD
like licenses that could be used instead.
