Re: licensecheck says UNKNOWN
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.
