Regarding this, I am testing a new tool for license analysis.

With "new tool" are you referring to Fossology as mentioned Florian's initial message?

I took a random package from an SPDX PR in my Inbox.

Surprise, surprise, we have non free code, this is just amazing!

Surprise, surprise, indeed. I submitted that PR as part of the SPDX workshop during Flock given by Tom "spot" Callaway and The Right Honourable Miroslav Suchý [1].

Seeing what the tool unearthed, I'm wondering if this should be made part of fedora-review. The current license check does not detect all the licenses nor the problematic font the new tool does. The license check is what I usually rely on doing reviews including my own package submissions.
