Well, for now, at least the packages in /var/log/sourceballs should be fixed (in some cases they're just out-of-date). These are the real failiures. The rest is missing/invalid license and licenses for which we don't create sourceballs. And I would like to know who's willing to help out fixing packages with missing licenses to make sure there's no duplication of work. That's the 2 important things to do at present. BTW, I noticed that errors.txt doesn't print the name of the package which generated the error. So it's practically useless for now. Once that'll be fixed, we'll know which packages have a missing/invalid license.
