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).
If the sources are listed in licensecheck.txt as "Unknown or generated"
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:
