If the sources are listed in licensecheck.txt as "Unknown or generated"1) Sources contain only permissible code or content: this is very hard to check if source code is big enough; I'm quite sure that it doesn't contain content, but checking all source code would be a very long work. Can we rely on the license (GPLv3+)?This one is more of a best reasonable effort requirement. As long as you scan through things and don't see any evidence that something would be impermissible, it should be fine. Mostly this is a catch-all for things that humans are better at discovering than a computer (like someone submitting a program called "Last Fantasy" which is a complete replica of a famous video game). you must check them all, because some of this, may return a/some not valid licenses for Fedora for example Package nom-tam-fits all of it files are listed as "unknown or generated" but all contain this header: /* * #%L * nom.tam FITS library * %% * Copyright (C) 2004 - 2015 nom-tam-fits * %% * This is free and unencumbered software released into the public domain. * * Anyone is free to copy, modify, publish, use, compile, sell, or * distribute this software, either in source code form or as a compiled * binary, for any purpose, commercial or non-commercial, and by any * means. * * In jurisdictions that recognize copyright laws, the author or authors * of this software dedicate any and all copyright interest in the * software to the public domain.
