Hi Vignesh, Quoting Vignesh Raman (2021-12-13 09:50:02) > licensecheck (version v3.1.1 and v3.2.14) reports UNKNOWN for > Bitstream license. Thanks for reporting this issue! The file "LICENSE" in Debian source package "fonts-dejavu" contains several licensing texts, but all of them are uncommon ones. Individual font source files contain no licensing, only copyright (and mentions the lack of copyright for some parts due to being in the Public Domain). Technically it not a bug to report licensing as "UNKNOWN", because really no licensing shortname is known to licensecheck for the licensing here granted by Bitstream. Several other more general issues relates to this one, however, and fixing some or all of those would like make this issue less relevant: * Licensecheck should distinguish reason it defaulted to UNKNOWN tracked at https://bugs.debian.org/1001635 * project-wide licensing should be noted in header section tracked at https://bugs.debian.org/863954 That said, I will jeep this issue report open, as a good example of non-generic licensing which could maybe be pseudo-classified tied to a similar generic license - e.g. as Expat~Bitstream. - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
