Package: licensecheck
Version: 3.0.41

The perl Array-IntSpan module is licensed Artistic v1 [1], but this license is considered a non-free license [2] and not allowed in Fedora [3].

As such, Fedora won't be able to ship newer versions of licensecheck as long as there is a dependency on this module. Could it's use please be reconsidered? Thanks.

That's great news.

Sorry I failed to switch - I really tried several alternative libraries 
without success.

Closing this bugreport as solved.
