--- Comment #5 from Neal Gompa <[email protected]> ---
In my initial review, I did find a serious issue: the "GPL-3.0" license
identifier needs to be clarified.

It looks like the sources indicate the codebase is GPLv3, but there is a
complete lack of identifying marks about whether it's GPL-3.0-only or
GPL-3.0-or-later. The license default is "GPL-3.0-or-later", but I recommend
contacting upstream to make a decision on indicating this somehow. The GNU
licenses recommend some kind of license header on source files, and I would say
that's probably the right thing to do too.

I suspect this is necessary for all COSMIC projects.

Here's a suggested header template (from some projects I've seen):

/* This file is part of {project}.
 *
 * Copyright System76, Inc.
 *
 * Licensed under the GNU General Public License Version 3
 * Fedora-License-Identifier: GPLv3+
 * SPDX-2.0-License-Identifier: GPL-3.0+

 */

An simpler alternative that can work is something like this:

/*
 * This file is part of {project}
 * Copyright System76, Inc.
 *
 * Fedora-License-Identifier: GPLv3+
 * SPDX-2.0-License-Identifier: GPL-3.0+
 * SPDX-3.0-License-Identifier: GPL-3.0-or-later
 *
