Fortunately there are issues filed (#904518) and an author assures that support 
will be added. The changelog suggests that there is already preliminary 
support for the GPL at least.

Unfortunately licensecheck doesn't currently recognize
SPDX-License-Identifier (I haven't check to see if there's a request
filed for that). It appears to only recognize license boilerplate. This
is probably the #1 reason I have to populate
debian/fill.copyright.blanks.yml for scan-copyrights/cme update
dpkg-copyright - files with SPDX identifiers but no boilerplate.

Hope this helps.

licensecheck says UNKNOWN

2020-07-12 Thread Geert Stappers
Hi Collective Knowledge,


Program  licensecheck   says   UNKNOWN  for an unknown reason to me.

Adding an SPDX ID, https://spdx.dev/ids/
nor adding an email address did solve it.


What is licensecheck trying to say with   UNKNOWN ?
And why is it important for packaging?
