That bug seems for tool not supporting all SPDX licenses, what you mean is to add a way to avoid "grep" other licenses out of spdx if spdx is present.Am 04.04.2025 16:45 schrieb c.bu...@posteo.jp:I would call this a bug in Debian's copyright checking tool then. The rule is simpel: If SPDX meta data is provided all other comments/headers should be ignored.Please let me know if you open a bug report about it, so I can subscribe it.This might be a relevant tickert regarding "licensechecker" <https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=960665>
You can try to open a wishlist bug related but I suppose will not be done since projects using spdx are not the major part and there are not many projects that do an accurate and complete management of copyright so generic parsing is still widely used. There could be projects that have put the spdx but have something else or different outside (in the same file) and checking beyond the spdx you can detect that it could be incomplete or incorrect. Unfortunately, even if the writing that you have added in each file even if technically it is not an error causes all files with a different license to be seen as possible errors.
