Control: retitle -1 licensecheck: file parsing: extract metadata from appstream

Thanks for reporting this! Licensecheck does not even report "using the project license": It recognizes neither of those license fields, as revealed by this command: TRACE=1 licensecheck dist/unix/*.appdata.xml ..which hints of a discovery at lines 946-964, which is "released under GPL" at lines 946-964. Rephrasing bugreport title accordingly. - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ * Sponsorship: https://ko-fi.com/drjones [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
