Could you please advise if this is expected behavior or if it might be a bug in how `licenserecon` parses the copyright file?You can reproduce this by running gbp clone https://salsa.debian.org/debian/grep.git cd grep lrc It might be that this is no bug and I simply misunderstood how the `debian/copyright` file is supposed to be structured.
Hi Otto, I followed your reproduction steps exactly, and find the debian/copyright has only one License: stanza, GPL-3+ So lrc seems correct to me in reporting license differences. Also, last copyright date is 2013 !! (Attached) Have you actually committed the file you are working on? Regards, Peter
