Package: licensecheck Version: 3.0.39-1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
running licensecheck against this [1] upstream repo, the COPYING file is incorrectly detected as LGPL whereas it’s actually GPL. $ licensecheck . | \grep "\./COPYING:" ./COPYING: GNU Lesser General Public License I guess it is because the license preamble mentions: (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by the GNU Library General Public License instead.)
