I have seen it, too. Unfortunately not the precise licence description.

I am not aware that anyone manually uploaded a GRASS GIS release to Zenodo.

Probably they treated non-SPDX conformant license identifiers (here:
"GPL-2.0-or-later") differently?
Just guessing: In the past they changed it to "Other (Open)" and now
it is (randomly) failing?

Anyway, we now have updated the CITATION.cff with the correct SPDX
license identifier "GPL-2.0-or-later" in GRASS GIS 8.x.

It would be cool if Zenodo helpdesk could retrigger the 8.3.0 upload.

Best,
Markus
