Hi Bruno, Let me put it another way. How about diagnosing a missing License: when the module is not a -test one? If you'd prefer not to do that, I can easily convert this into a syntax-check: $ git grep -L '^License:' modules|grep -ve '-tests$' modules/.gitattributes modules/COPYING modules/README modules/TEMPLATE-TESTS
