The latter doesn't care about short names at all, merely that 1. every file has a license, and 2. every license is defined. Thus, "GPL-2", "GPL-2+", "GPL-2.0-only", "GPL-2.0-or-later", "Meow-meow" and "Cthulhu-fhtagn" have exactly the same meaning: they're merely identifiers that need to be defined elsewhere in the file. Obviously, for human readers we still want GPL to mean GPL -- but it's a syntax vs content distinction. > Anyway, this is what I get if I switch to GPL-2 and GPL-2+ everywhere: > > W: dwarves-dfsg source: missing-license-paragraph-in-dep5-copyright gpl-2+ > (paragraph at line 102) > N: > N: The files paragraph in the machine readable copyright file references a > N: license, for which no standalone license paragraph exists. > N: > N: Refer to > N: https://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/copyright-format/1.0/ for > N: details. > N: > N: Severity: normal, Certainty: possible > N: > N: Check: source-copyright, Type: source > N: > W: dwarves-dfsg source: missing-license-paragraph-in-dep5-copyright gpl-2 > (paragraph at line 94) So it does if you say "GPL-2.0-only" or "GPL-2.0-or-later"... > I spent quite some time in trying to understand what lintian tries > to tell me here.
