Okay, I'm even more confused now.

Firstly, none of the files in that package which trigger the
license-problem tags are the blank example that you claimed was causing
the trouble.

More specifically, each of the files does contain:

        <cc:license
rdf:resource="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.0/"; />
      </cc:Work>
      <cc:License
         rdf:about="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/";>

If that information is incorrect, and the files are not covered by those
licenses, then upstream could fix the metadata. A very quick search
finds https://wiki.creativecommons.org/Inkscape , which indicates that
the license is easily selectable.

Regards,

Adam
