I believe a problem is that the license is not allowed in general. It is only allowed for a documentation: $ cat data/GFDL-1.3-no-invariants-or-later.toml [license] expression = "GFDL-1.3-no-invariants-or-later" status = [ "allowed-documentation" ] so rpminspect probably raises a failure than assuming it's a documentation. There is a similar bug report <https://github.com/rpminspect/rpminspect/issues/1237>. -- Petr
